3. Java Terminologies:

- JDK (Java Development Kit): Contains tools to develop Java programs.

- JRE (Java Runtime Environment): Helps run Java programs.

- JVM (Java Virtual Machine): Executes Java bytecode and makes it platform

independent.

public static void main(String[] args) {

System.out.println("Hello, Java!");

}
Explanation:

- public class HelloWorld: Class declaration

- public static void main(String[] args): Entry point of program

- System.out.println: Prints output to console
