1. JAVA JAVA is an object-oriented programming (OOP) language introduced by Sun Microsystems in 1995. In the Java programming language: A program is made up of one or more classes A class contains one or more methods A method contains program statements

2. JAVA Class with a method: class name public class MyClass //class header { private int myInt = 5; //instance variable public double myMethod(int intParam) //method header { // do stuff here }

3. Class with a method: public class myClass variable name initial value { type private int myInt = 5; //instance variable public double myMethod(int intParam) { // do stuff here } JAVA

4. Class with a method: public class myClass { private int myInt = 5; //instance variable return type name parameter type public double myMethod(int intParam) { // do stuff here parameter name return myVar; //return statement } JAVA

5. Java comments: Used to explain code. Ignored by the compiler //single line comment. /* multiple line comment */ /**This is a javadoc comment*/

6. JAVA The words used to program in Java (or any other language) are called identifiers. Java identifiers can be made of letters digits or the underscore character. They can not start with a number: You should use JAVA conventions in naming your identifiers: Class names begin with a capital letter: MyClass Variable names begin with a lower case letter: myInteger Methods begin with a lower case letter: myMethod Constants are all caps: MAXIMUM

7. JAVA Many languages compile to run on a specific machine. The Java compiles the code to Java bytecode. A java interpreter installed on the machine running the program converts the Java bytecode to the machines native code. This lets a program written in Java run on multiple platforms. For instance a program compiled on a Linux machine can be run on a Microsoft machine. Java is considered to be architecture-neutral. Java source code Machine code Java bytecode Java interpreter Java compiler

8. (x, y) JAVA Graphics in Java: Horizontal (x) coordinates are measured from right. Vertical (y) coordinates are measured from top. We are used to measuring vertical coordinates from the x-axis, so this can take some getting used to: (x, y)

9. JAVA Hello World! Public class Test { public static void main(String[] args) { System.out.println(“Hello World!”); }
