Objective: Write a simple Java program that prints "Hello, World!" to the screen.

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1.​ Create a new Java file: Name it HelloWorld.java.


2.​ Write the class declaration:
●​ In Java, all code must be inside a class.

3.​ Write the main method:


●​ The main method is the entry point of any Java program.

4.​ Print the message:


●​ Use System.out.println() to print a message to the screen.

5.​ Close the class and method:


●​ End the main method and the class.

Run the program. You should see Hello, World! printed to the screen.
Code Example:

2. Variables and Data Types

Objective: Learn how to declare and use variables in Java.

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1.​ Create a new Java file: Name it VariablesExample.java.


2.​ Write the class and main method:
●​ Define a class and the main method as shown in the previous exercise.

3.​ Declare and initialize variables:


●​ Java uses specific data types like int for integers, double for decimal numbers,
String for text, and boolean for true/false values.

4.​ Print the values of the variables:


5.​ Close the class and method:

6.​ Run the program. You should see the values of the variables printed to the screen.

Code Example:

3. Conditional Statements (if-else)

Objective: Learn how to use if-else statements to make decisions in your program.

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1.​ Create a new Java file: Name it IfElseExample.java.


2.​ Write the class and main method:
3. Ask the user for their age:

●​ Use Scanner to take input from the user.

4. Use an if-else statement to check if the user is an adult or a minor:

5. Close the class and method:

6. Run the program. Enter an age when prompted, and the program will tell you if you’re
an adult or a minor.

Code Example:
4. Loops (for loop)

Objective: Learn how to use for loops to repeat tasks.

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1.​ Create a new Java file: Name it ForLoopExample.java.


2.​ Write the class and main method:

3. Use a for loop to print numbers from 1 to 5:

4. Close the class and method:

5. Run the program. You should see the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 printed on the screen.

Code Example:
5. Functions (Methods)

Objective: Learn how to create and use methods to organize code.

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1.​ Create a new Java file: Name it MethodExample.java.


2.​ Write the class and main method:
