Hello World

Print Line

System.out.println() can print to the System.out.println("Hello, world!");


console:
// Output: Hello, world!
System is a class from the core library
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 with And I am a
/* and ending with */ .
multi-line comment!
*/

Compiling Java

In Java, when we compile a program, each individual class # Compile the class file:
is converted into a .class file, which is known as byte
javac hello.java
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 task


and is terminated with a ; .
System.out.println("Java Programming ☕️");

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 public static void main(String[] args) {
void main(String[] args) { } . It accepts
a single argument: an array of elements of type System.out.println("Hello, world!");
String .

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?

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.");
