static void message(String[] args){ for(int i = 0; i < args.length; i++) System.out.println(args[i]); } Then call it: message(new String[]{"Hello", "World!"});

You can also shorten System.out to just the letter o: import java.io.PrintStream; public class Program { public static void main(String[] args) { PrintStream o = System.out; o.println("Hello"); o.print("GoodBye"); } }

You're gonna need to use the println() method somewhere. What you could do is create a class that does what you want in the constructor or in a static method of that class and then create an array or arraylist of those objects. If the println() method is used in the constructor then the output would occur when the array/arraylist is initialized. If you use a static method of your new class then you would need to call that method on each element of the array/arraylist when you want it to run.

Do you want something like this? static void print(String msg){ System.out.println(msg); } Then call it: print(message[1]); // Assuming message is an array
