Basic Syntax:: Case Sensitivity - Hello Hello Class Names

Java uses case sensitivity where variables like "hello" and "Hello" are different. Class names have the first letter of each word capitalized like "MyFirstJavaClass". Method names start with a lowercase letter with interior words capitalized like "myMethodName()". The program file name must exactly match the class name and end with ".java" or the program will not compile. All Java programs require a main method defined as "public static void main(String args[])" where program execution begins.

Basic Syntax:

About Java programs, it is very important to keep in mind the following points.

Case Sensitivity - Java is case sensitive, which means identifier Hello and hello would have different meaning in Java.
Class

Names

- For

all

class

names

the

first

letter

should

be

in

Upper

Case.

If several words are used to form a name of the class, each inner word's first letter should be in Upper Case.

Example class MyFirstJavaClass


Method

Names

- All

method

names

should

start

with

Lower

Case

letter.

If several words are used to form the name of the method, then each inner word's first letter should be in Upper Case.
Example public void myMethodName()

Program

File

Name

- Name

of

the

program

file

should

exactly

match

the

class

name.

When saving the file, you should save it using the class name (Remember Java is case sensitive) and append '.java' to the end of the name
(if
the
file
name
and
the
class
name
do
not
match
your
program
will
not
compile).
Example : Assume 'MyFirstJavaProgram' is the class name. Then the file should be saved as'MyFirstJavaProgram.java'

public static void main(String args[]) - Java program processing starts from the main() method which is a mandatory part of every Java
program..
