Java - First Program Notes

Introduction:
Every Java program starts with a class definition. The class name should match the file name.

Basic Structure of a Java Program:


public class ClassName {

public static void main(String[] args) {

// Code to execute

Example: Hello World Program


public class HelloWorld {

public static void main(String[] args) {

System.out.println("Hello, World!");

How It Works:
- `public class HelloWorld`: Declares a class named HelloWorld.

- `public static void main(String[] args)`: Entry point of the program.

- `System.out.println(...)`: Prints text to the console.

Steps to Compile and Run:


1. Save the program as HelloWorld.java

2. Open terminal/command prompt and navigate to the file location.

3. Compile: javac HelloWorld.java

4. Run: java HelloWorld

Output: Hello, World!

Important Points:
- Java is case sensitive.

- The file name must match the class name.

- The `main` method is mandatory for execution.
