Java: solution is not accepted if it does not print a newline at the end. Specs do not mention that newline is required.

It does not say "print a line".

print and printf work if you add a newline. It's not specified that the newline is required though.

if you use print() or printf() in java the test wont pass even though the solution is exactly correct. how hard is it to write a test that works for this kata. if this were martial arts, this kata would consist of a single punch and then youre done.

well damn now i feel dumb XD
