Standard in-/output stream

How is the System class structured/designed with regard to the standard in-/output?

The System class has a public final out method that returns a PrintStream. Is the println() method then a nested method or how does that exactly work if I call System.out.println();?

out is a public static final variable, and since it's static, one can get out as System.out (i.e. in a static manner).

out is a PrintStream which contains the println() method, and you're accessing the println() method from the PrintStream (i.e., from out).
