Why printing the character 'B' in a Java loop is much slower than printing the character '#'

Hello colleagues! I'm a beginner Java developer and I've encountered a very strange issue when testing loop performance. I wrote a simple code that prints 1000 characters to the console. First I used the '#' character, and everything worked fast. Then I replaced '#' with 'B' — and the execution speed dropped several times! Here's my code: ```java public class PrintTest { public static void main(String[] args) { long start = System.currentTimeMillis(); for (int i = 0; i < 1000; i++) { System.out.print("B"); } long end = System.currentTimeMillis(); System.out.println("\nTime: " + (end - start) + " ms"); start = System.currentTimeMillis(); for (int i = 0; i < 1000; i++) { System.out.prin
