Hello World
Print Line
System.out.println() can print to the console:
System.out.println("Hello, world!");
● System is a class from the core library provided by Java // Output: Hello, world!
● out is an object that controls the output

● println() is a method associated with that object that receives a single

argument

Comments
Comments are bits of text that are ignored by the compiler. They are used to increase
the readability of a program. // I am a single line comment!

● Single line comments are created by using // .

/*
● Multi-line comments are created by starting with /* and ending with */ . And I am a 
multi-line comment!

main() Method
In Java, every application must contain a main() method, which is the entry point
for the application. All other methods are invoked from the main() method. public class Person {
The signature of the method is public static void main(String[] args) { } . It   
accepts a single argument: an array of elements of type String .   public static void main(String[] args) {
    
    System.out.println("Hello, world!");

  }
  
}

Classes
A class represents a single concept.
A Java program must have one class whose name is the same as the program public class Person {
lename.   
In the example, the Person class must be declared in a program le named   public static void main(String[] args) {
Person.java.
    
    System.out.println("I am a person, not
a computer.");
    
  }
  
}

Compiling Java
In Java, when we compile a program, each individual class is converted into a .class
le, which is known as byte code. # Compile the class file:
The JVM (Java virtual machine) is used to run the byte code. javac hello.java

# Execute the compiled file:

java hello
Whitespace
Whitespace, including spaces and newlines, between statements is ignored.
System.out.println("Example of a statement");

System.out.println("Another statement");

// Output:
// Example of a statement
// Another statement

Statements
In Java, a statement is a line of code that executes a task and is terminated with a ; .
System.out.println("Java Programming ☕");
