How To Create Simple Program Of Java
Introduction
In this article, you will learn how we can create a simple program of Java with explanation and example.
Now, we will create a simple program of Java. First, we need to check, in which software, we need to
write a program in Java.
Linux or Windows xp/7/8 operating system.
Java JDK 8
Notepad or any other text editor
Let’s see, how to write a program in Java
In this program, first we create a class TestExample1 and print the statement.
Code is given below-
public class TestExample1 {
public static void main(String args[]) {
System.out.println("hello I am Java");
Write that program in Notepad first.
Save this file as a TestExample1.java.
Afterwards, open the command prompt Window.
Compile the program: javac TestExample1.java.
Run the program: java TestExample1.
Now, see the output-
Explanation of program:
1. Class TestExample1{
Class keyword is used to declare a class in Java such as TestExample1 is a class name.
2. Public static void main(String args[]){
Public is an access modifier and is publically accessible everywhere means it’s visible to
all.
Static is a keyword. When we use static keyword with any method, it is called as a static
method. It is used basically in memory management and there is no need to create an
object to call it a static method.
Void is a return type and it’s not returning any value to a method.
Main is used to start a program. Without main, you cannot run your program.
String [] args is used for a command line argument.
System.out.println() – it used to print a statement
System is a class name, which is inbuilt class.
Out is a static object of the class.
Println is a method to print a statement.
One thing is important to know, how to set a path in Java. If we are not first, set a path. Hence, it gives
an error that “javac is not recognized as an internal or external command”. Path is not required, if you
save your file in jdk/bin directory and if you have not saved the file inside jdk/bin directory. Hence, it
gives an error and you need to set a path to solve the problem.
Summary
Thus, we learnt, how we can write a program in Java with the explanation.
