    Study Notes

    Introduction to Java

    • Java is a widely used programming language in business
    • Core Java features are fundamental and timeless
    • This chapter introduces key Java features
    • Java Development Kit (JDK) is necessary for Java development on a computer
    • First Java program outputs "hello, world" message
    • Application architecture is explained

    What is Java?

    • Java is a programming language
    • It's a virtual platform for running programs written in the language

    Java as a Programming Language

    • Java shares features with C and C++ (e.g., comments)
    • Similar reserved words (e.g., if, while, for)
    • Shared primitive data types (e.g., char, int)
    • Common operators (e.g., arithmetic, relational)
    • Uses brace characters ({ and }) to delimit blocks
    • Additional comment style (Javadoc) also exists
    • Some new keywords are found in Java, not in C/C++ (e.g., strictfp, transient)

    Java as a Virtual Platform

    • Java runs on a virtual machine (JVM)
    • JVM is software-based processor with its own instructions
    • Includes a library of prebuilt types (APIs) for tasks
    • Connects to the underlying operating system via Native Interface

    Note: Bytecode and Portability

    • Java code is compiled into bytecode, which runs on any platform with a JVM
    • No recompilation needed for different platforms

    Java Development Kit (JDK)

    • Provides tools for Java development (compiler, program launcher)
    • Downloads available for Linux, macOS, and Windows
    • Instructions on how to download and install the JDK
    • Contains essential tools like compiler, launcher, documentation generator, archiver
    • Used to compile and run Java programs

    Hello, World Application

    • Create a simple Java application
    • Output "hello, world" to the console

    Main() Method

    • Entry point for the application upon running
    • Marked as public static void main(String[] args)
    • public: accessible from anywhere
    • static: callable without object instantiation
    • void: does not return a value
    • String[] args: takes arguments as a String array

    Application Architecture

    • Consists of at least one class
    • Must declare at least one main() method
    • Multiple programs can use classes from a single file or different files
