Correction

Here is what's right.

Evaluating an expression (e.g., in a REPL like the BlueJ CodePad) leads to a value. That value is usually consumed by storing it in a variable (an assignment) or using it otherwise as operand in an enclosing expression. It is not printed per se.

Origin

Where could this misconception come from?

In a REPL one can type an expression, and it will evaluate it and print the resulting value. This does not happen when evaluating an expression somewhere within a program.
