external libraries they should be added to the classpath.
Complete History of Java
1. Java was originally developed by James Gosling Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) Language:
with his colleagues at Sun Microsystems during Organizing the program in the terms of collection of
the early 1990s. objects is a way of object-oriented programming, each
of which represents an instance of the class.
2. Initially, it was called a project ‘Oak’ which had
implementation similar to C and C++. The four main concepts of OOP:

espresso bean. ● Inheritance
● Polymorphism
4. Java 1.0, the first version was released in 1995
with the tagline of ‘write once, run anywhere’. Lesson 9: Creating Executable Java Applications
Later, Sun Microsystems was acquired by Oracle.

Parts of A Java Program: - “Print”
- Prints a string
Sample Code - Does not advance the cursor to the beginning of
the next line when printing a string

println() Method
- “Print line”
- Prints a string and makes a new line
- Advances the cursor to the beginning of the
next line when printing a string

Program Output: print() & println() escape sequence

Sample Code:
Java Fundamentals System.out.print(“ICT 11-02\n”);
System.out.print(“Has a better schedule than ICT01\n”);
Java API Code Sample:
System.out.print(“Prints on same line”);
System.out.println(“Prints another line”);
Code Output:
ICT 11-02
Has a better schedule than ICT01
BUILD SUCCESSFUL (total time: X second/s)

\” makes double quotation marks

Sample Code:
System.out.print(“\”ICT 11-02\””);
System.out.print(“Has a better schedule than ICT01\n”);

Code Output:
‘System’
“ICT 11-02”
Is a class that is part of the Java API. This class contains Has a better schedule than ICT01

‘out’.

Out is an object that contains methods. Two such Code Commenting
methods are ‘print’ and ‘println’

public static void main (String[] args)
{ comments.
System.out.print(“ICT 11-02!”);
}

print Output
