Java Fundamentals: A

Beginner's Guide
Welcome to this introductory presentation on Java fundamentals!
We'll cover key concepts to help you start your Java programming
journey. This presentation will provide a solid foundation, building
your understanding step-by-step. Let's get started!
What is Java?
Java is a versatile, object-oriented programming Its strength lies in its robustness, security, and
language known for its platform independence ("write extensive libraries. Learning Java opens doors to a vast

3 Verify Installation
Open a terminal or command prompt and type "javac -
version". A version number confirms successful installation.
Basic Java Syntax
Comments
Use `//` for single-line and `/* ... */` for multi-line comments to improve
code readability.

Variables
Declare variables with their data type (e.g., `int age = 30;`).

Data Types
Java has various data types like `int`, `float`, `double`, `boolean`, `String` etc.

Operators
Use operators like `+`, `-`, `*`, `/`, `%` for arithmetic calculations.
Control Flow

Arrays and Collections
1 Arrays
Fixed-size data structures that store elements of the same
data type.

2 Lists
Dynamically sized collections that allow adding and removing
elements.

3 Sets
Collections that do not allow duplicate elements.

4 Maps
Collections that store data in key-value pairs.
Exception Handling
try
Code that might throw an exception.

catch
Handles specific exceptions.

finally
Code that always executes, regardless of exceptions.
Next Steps: Practice
and Resources
Practice consistently! Work through coding exercises, build small
projects, and explore online resources. Websites like HackerRank,
LeetCode, and Codewars offer coding challenges. Remember,
consistent practice is key to mastering Java.
