Field Detail

err

public static final PrintStream err

The print stream for errors (similar to standard error)

out

public static final PrintStream out

The print stream for normal text (similar to standard out)

Method Detail

arraycopy

public static void arraycopy(Object src, int srcPos, Object dest, int destPos, int length)

copy elements between two arrays

currentTimeMillis

public static long currentTimeMillis()

Returns a time value in milliseconds

exit

public static void exit(int status)

Exits the running virtual machine

gc

public static void gc()

throwRuntimeException

public static void throwRuntimeException(String a)

This is a helper function to exit the virtual machine showing an error.

The language currently does not support exceptions. This can be used to simulate a critical runtime exception.
