Cheatsheets / Learn Java: Introduction

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
// Output: Hello, world!
provided by Java
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 // I am a single line comment!
compiler. They are used to increase the readability of a
program.
Single line comments are created by using // . /*
Multi-line comments are created by starting And I am a
with /* and ending with */ .
multi-line comment!
*/

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

System.out.println("Hello, world!");

}
Classes
A class represents a single concept. public class Person {
A Java program must have one class whose name is the
same as the program filename.
In the example, the Person class must be declared in public static void main(String[] args)
a program file named Person.java. {

System.out.println("I am a person,
not a computer.");

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

Whitespace
Whitespace, including spaces and newlines, between System.out.println("Example of a
statements is ignored.
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 System.out.println("Java Programming
task and is terminated with a ; .
☕️");

Computing Systems & Personal Security


Using a user’s personal data can create unique and
personalized online experiences for use; however,
there is a risk to personal privacy when collecting and
storing personal data in a program.
Computing Systems & Ethical and Social Impacts
Programs have had both positive and negative ethical
and social impacts on society. Some examples of this
include:
Machine learning: While there are positives to
pattern identification and automation, there is a
problem with data bias and its impact on
marginalized communities.
AI: For example, should a driverless car make
choices that protect the life of the passenger
over the life of another driver or a pedestrian?
