Study Notes
Java Programs
- A simple Java program can be created using source code written in readable English-like code, saved as a
.javafile. - Compiling the source code with the
javaccompiler creates byte code, stored in a.classfile. - The Java Virtual Machine (JVM) executes the
.classbyte code. - Java programs require a
public classdefinition and amainmethod. - Braces,
{}, mark the beginning and end of blocks of code. - The keyword
voidindicates that a method does not return a value. - Comments, using two forward slashes
//, are ignored by the compiler. - Header comments for classes and methods are typically written with a format similar to
@author first-name last-name. - All code should be indented at least 2 spaces per level.
- Statements within loops, if, or else clauses, are indented and placed on a new line.
- Braces can be aligned vertically or on the same line as the construct they define.
- Single line comments should be used to explain specific code elements.
- Methods should strive to be limited to 25 statements or less.
- Line length should be limited to 80 characters for enhanced readability.
