Java programming source code

class HelloWorld
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
System.out.println("Hello World");
}

"Hello World" is passed as an argument to println method, you can print
whatever you want. There is also a print method which doesn't takes the cursor to
beginning of next line as println does. System is a class, out is object of
PrintStream class and println is the method.

Java programming language offers a block known as static which is executed

before main method executes. Below is the simplest example to understand
functioning of static block later we see a practical use of static block.

Java static method program: static methods in Java can be called without
creating an object of class. Have you noticed why we write static keyword when
defining main it's because program execution begins from main and no object has
been created yet. Consider the example below to improve your understanding of
static methods.

Java static method example program

class Languages {
public static void main(String[] args) {
display();
}

static void display() {

System.out.println("Java is my favorite programming language.");
}

Output of program:

Java static method vs instance method

Instance method requires an object of its class to be created before it can be called
while static method doesn't require object creation.
class Difference {
public static void main(String[] args) {
display(); //calling without object
Difference t = new Difference();
t.show(); //calling using object
}
static void display() {
System.out.println("Programming is amazing.");

Java program can contain more than one i.e. multiple classes. Following example
Java program contain two classes: Computer and Laptop. Both classes have their
own constructors and a method. In main method we create object of two classes
and call their methods.

Using two classes in Java program

class Computer {
Computer() {
System.out.println("Constructor of Computer class.");
}
void computer_method() {
System.out.println("Power gone! Shut down your PC soon...");
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
Computer my = new Computer();
Laptop your = new Laptop();
my.computer_method();
your.laptop_method();
}

class Laptop {
Laptop() {

Constructor java tutorial: Java constructors are the methods which are used to
initialize objects. Constructor method has the same name as that of class, they are
called or invoked when an object of class is created and can't be called explicitly.
Attributes of an object may be available when creating objects if no attribute is
available then default constructor is called, also some of the attributes may be
known initially. It is optional to write constructor method in a class but due to
their utility they are used.

Java constructor example

class Programming {
//constructor method
Programming() {
System.out.println("Constructor method called.");
}

public static void main(String[] args) {

Programming object = new Programming(); //creating object

Java exception handling tutorial: In this tutorial we will learn how to handle
exception with the help of suitable examples. Exceptions are errors which occur
when the program is executing. Consider the Java program below which divides
two integers.

public static void main(String[] args) {
int a, b, result;
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("Input two integers");
a = input.nextInt();
b = input.nextInt();
result = a / b;

System.out.println("Result = " + result);

}
