Getting Started With Java: (Imagine A Nice Java Logo Image Here)

The document provides an introduction to Java programming by walking through a "Hello World" example. It first shows the code for a basic Hello World program in Java. It then explains how to compile and run the Java code, deconstructing the different parts of the program like the main method, class, and print statement. It also compares Hello World examples in other languages like Python and Processing.

Deconstructing hello world


/* Java hello world */ public class HelloWorld{ public static void main(String[] args){ System.out.println("hello, world!"); } } created a class called HelloWorld created a method in the class called main
inputs an array of String objects return type is void (it returns nothing)

calls the function println with input string "hello, world!"


System is a class with three attributes (out, in and err) out is the "standard" output stream out is an instance of the PrintStream class out is a PrintStream object

Deconstructing hello world (again)


/* Java hello world */ public class HelloWorld{ public static void main(String[] args){ System.out.println("hello, world!"); } } public here is a top level access modier
it species the access level of the class it is either public or left empty (sometimes called friendly)

public here is a member level access modier


it species the access level of an attribute or a method it is either public, private, protected, or left empty (friendly)

static is a (non access) modier


it allows the main method to be called without creating an instance of the HelloWorld class (and much more...) there are several dierent modiers (for attributes and methods)

Running hello world


/* Java hello world */ public class HelloWorld{ public static void main(String[] args){ System.out.println("hello, world!"); } } Java convention is that
class name is capitalized (use camel case if more than one word) class XXX must be in the le XXX.java so HellowWorld must be in the le HelloWorld.java

rst we need to compile the source code into Java bytecode


IDE will have a compile button javac HelloWorld.java from console window (shell) this creates HelloWorld.class, which is the Java bytecode

next, we run the bytecode with the JVM (Java virtual machine)
java HelloWorld from the console window runs out program! the JVM executes the main method of our program
