System.err shows up before System.out in terminal?
How come
System.err (red error text) show up in the terminal before System.out (white normal text) even though the error comes later in the code?
Its something about the System.err getting "flashed" more quickly or something, whereas the System.out might still be in the "buffer" (not sure what the buffer is, or even if "flashed" is the correct term).

yea that was definitely the term :D thanks.
So System.err gets flushed quickly
so fast that System.out might still be in the buffer
(not sure what buffer is being referred to, as I only know that theres heap and stack memory)
So its possible to somehow tunnel all the
System.err message into a LoggerUnknown User•10mo ago

Ok smart thanks:)
Apparently you can do
System.out.flush() to get the white messages before
I think it force "flushes" the
System.out messages from its "buffer" (still don't know what buffer its refering to, perhaps the stack or heap memory)Unknown User•10mo ago
