World-Class Student Manual: Java

Programming Mastery
General Objective 1: Understand Java Programming Basics

This section introduces the foundation of Java programming, ensuring students gain a solid
grasp of basic constructs, data types, and the process of writing and running Java programs.

1.1 Explain the Basic Components of Java Programs


Java programs consist of several essential components:

- Classes: The primary building blocks; every Java application must have at least one class.

- Methods: Blocks of code that perform specific tasks; the `main()` method is the entry point.

- Statements: Instructions that perform actions.

- Blocks: Grouped statements enclosed in braces `{}`.

- Comments: Used to explain code (`// single-line` and `/* multi-line */`).

Example:

public class HelloWorld {


public static void main(String[] args) {
// Display message
System.out.println("Hello, World!");
}
}

1.2 Explain Java Constructs and Its Applications


Java constructs refer to the fundamental elements of Java syntax, such as:

- Sequential Constructs: Instructions executed line-by-line.

- Conditional Constructs: Decision-making (`if`, `switch`).


- Looping Constructs: Repetition (`for`, `while`, `do-while`).

Applications: Used in business systems, Android apps, embedded systems, web


applications, and scientific simulations.

1.3 Differentiate Between Object Declaration and Object Creation


- Object Declaration: Defining a reference to an object.

```java

Car myCar;

```

- Object Creation: Instantiating the object using the `new` keyword.

```java

myCar = new Car();

```

- Combined:

```java

Car myCar = new Car();

```

1.4 Explain Concept of Data Types, Variables and Constants


- Data Types: Define the type of data a variable holds.

- Primitive: `int`, `double`, `char`, `boolean`

- Non-Primitive: Arrays, Strings, Classes

- Variables: Named memory locations for storing data.

```java

int age = 25;

```
- Constants: Variables whose values cannot change after initialization.

```java

final int MAX_SPEED = 120;

```

1.5 Explain Variable Declaration and Constant Declaration


- Variable Declaration:

```java

int number;

String name;

```

- Constant Declaration:

```java

final double PI = 3.14159;

```

1.6 Describe the Process of Creating and Running Java Programs


1. Write: Create a `.java` file using any text editor or IDE (e.g., IntelliJ, Eclipse).

2. Compile: Use the Java Compiler `javac` to convert `.java` to `.class` bytecode.

```bash

javac HelloWorld.java

```

3. Run: Execute the compiled code using the Java Runtime Environment (JRE).

```bash

java HelloWorld

```
