Learn Java_ Hello World

This document provides a cheatsheet for learning Java, covering basic concepts such as printing to the console, comments, compiling Java programs, whitespace handling, statements, the main() method, and class structure. It explains how to use System.out.println() for output, the significance of comments for readability, and the compilation process into byte code for execution by the JVM. Additionally, it emphasizes the necessity of a main() method in Java applications and the requirement for class names to match the program filename.

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 And I am a
with /* and ending with */ .
multi-line comment!
*/

Compiling Java

In Java, when we compile a program, each individual # Compile the class file:
class is converted into a .class file, which is known as
javac hello.java
byte 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 System.out.println("Java Programming


task and is terminated with a ; .
☕️ ");

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

}
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 public static void main(String[] args)
in a program file named Person.java. {

System.out.println("I am a person,
not a computer.");
