Module 2 Subtopic 1 Basic Structure of A Java Program

The document discusses the basic structure of a Java program. It explains that a Java program must be defined within a class, with a public static void main method as the program entry point. This main method calls other methods like System.out.println to display output. The class declaration, access modifiers like public and static, return types like void, and built-in classes like System that provide useful methods are described as fundamental aspects of the basic structure of any Java program.

Fundamentals of Java Language


• Learn the basic syntax and language rules of Java.
BASIC STRUCTURE OF A JAVA CLASS

class HelloWorld{
public static void main(String args[ ]){
System.out.println(“Hello World”);
}
}

class HelloWorld – defines a class, a


template for an object of derived type
HelloWorld

BASIC STRUCTURE OF A JAVA CLASS

class HelloWorld{
public static void main(String args[ ]){
System.out.println(“Hello World”);
}
}

public – access specifier/modifier, the main


method is declared public so that it is
accessible as part of the public interface of
the program.

class HelloWorld{
public static void main(String args[ ]){
System.out.println(“Hello World”);
}
}

static – state of the method, it is static


because it must be called before the class
that hosts the method is instantiated

class HelloWorld{
public static void main(String args[ ]){
System.out.println(“Hello World”);

}

void – It returns void because the Java


interpreter does not expect to receive or
process any output from the class.

System.out.println( ) – The println method


is one of dozens of methods in the System
class. The System class is a part of the core
Java language package of the Application
Programming Interface (API)
