Java: From Zero to Your First Program!
A Beginner’s Guide to Building with the World’s Most Versatile Language
What is Java? A Powerful, All-Purpose Language
Key Phrase: "Write Once, Run Anywhere" (WORA).
Java code can run on almost any device, making it incredibly powerful and versatile. Why Learn Java? Object-Oriented: Organizes code like the real world, making it easier to manage. Platform Independent: "Write Once, Run Anywhere." Huge Community: Endless help, libraries, and resources are available online. Secure & Reliable: Trusted by banks and large companies for its security. What is Java Used For? Java is Everywhere! Netflix, LinkedIn, Android, Banking Apps, Scientific Computing, Minecraft The Magic Trio: JDK, JRE, and JVM JDK (Java Development Kit): The complete toolbox for developers. JRE (Java Runtime Environment): What users need to run your application. JVM (Java Virtual Machine): The engine that executes the code. Visualizing the Trio Funnel View: JDK -> JRE -> JVM Setting Up Your Workspace Your Developer Toolkit: JDK, Visual Studio Code, IntelliJ IDEA Your First Program: 'Hello, World!' public class HelloWorld { public static void main(String[] args) { System.out.println("Hello, World!"); } } Let's Run It! HelloWorld.java -> javac -> HelloWorld.class -> java -> "Hello, World!" The Big Ideas: Classes & Objects Class: The blueprint. Objects: The actual things you create from the blueprint. Dissecting 'Hello, World!' - The Class public: "Everyone can see and use this." class: "This is a blueprint." HelloWorld: "The name of our blueprint." Dissecting 'Hello, World!' - The Main Method public static void: "Specific instructions for the front door." main: "The name of the front door. This is where the program starts!" Dissecting 'Hello, World!' - The Action System.out.println(...): This line tells the system to print something to the output console. Data Types: Storing Information Variables are containers that hold different types of information. Primitive Types (The Basics) int - For whole numbers double - For decimal numbers char - For a single character boolean - For true or false Non-Primitive Types (Objects) String is the most common. It's for text, like "Hello World". It's actually a class! Declaring Variables Syntax: [Type] [Name] = [Value]; Example: int age = 25; What are Operators? Operators are symbols that perform actions on your variables. Arithmetic Operators +: 10 + 5 = 15 -: 10 - 5 = 5 *: 10 * 5 = 50 /: 10 / 5 = 2 %: 10 % 3 = 1 Interactive Addition Program Write a program to take two numbers and print their sum. Assignment Operators x += 5; is the same as x = x + 5; Relational Operators Compare values and return true or false. Example: 10 > 5 is true Relational Operators in Action int a = 10; int b = 5; System.out.println(a > b); // true System.out.println(a == b); // false Logical Operators && (AND): both must be true || (OR): either must be true Logical Operators Example Checklist: Age >= 25: ✓ Has License: ✓ You can rent a car! Unary Operators score++; adds one to score. Pre vs. Post Increment score++: use then add ++score: add then use Challenge: Simple Interest Calculator Interest = P * R * T / 100 Write a program to calculate it. Advanced Operators (A Quick Look) Operators like &, |, ? : for advanced logic. Learn them later. You Did It! [✓] Understood Java [✓] Learned Classes and Objects [✓] Used Operators What's Next? Decisions (if/else) Repetition (loops) Arrays The Power of Practice Programming is a skill built by doing. The more you build, the better you get!
