by Java
out is an object that controls the output
println() is a method associated with that object
that receives a single argument

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

Compiling Java

In Java, when we compile a program, each individual class # Compile the class file:
is converted into a .class file, which is known as byte
javac hello.java
code.
The JVM (Java virtual machine) is used to run the byte
code. # Execute the compiled file:
java hello

Statements

In Java, a statement is a line of code that executes a task System.out.println("Java Programming ☕️");
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.
The signature of the method is public static void public static void main(String[] args) {
main(String[] args) { } . It accepts a single argument: an
array of elements of type String . System.out.println("Hello, world!");
