Study Notes
Data Storage
- Data is stored in memory as a series of bits (zeros and ones).
- Each piece of data, such as numbers, characters, and strings, has a corresponding memory address and a unique encoding.
Programs and Programming Languages
- Computer programs are sets of instructions that tell computers what to do.
- Programming languages are used to write these instructions in a way that is easier for humans to understand.
- The CPU understands machine language, a set of primitive instructions built into every computer.
Java Programming
- Java is a popular programming language.
- It is an object-oriented programming language, meaning it uses objects to represent real-world entities.
- Java programs are compiled into bytecode, which can run on any platform with a Java Virtual Machine (JVM).
Java Program Structure
- A Java program consists of one or more classes.
- Each class contains one or more methods.
- The
main
method is the entry point for the program. - Every statement in Java ends with a semicolon (;).
- Java is case-sensitive, and keywords are always in lowercase.
- A block in Java is defined by a pair of curly braces ({ }).
Reserved Words
- Reserved words, or keywords, are words with specific meanings in Java.
- You cannot use these words as identifiers (names for variables, classes, methods, etc.).
Special Symbols
- Various special symbols have specific meanings in Java programming:
{}
(curly braces): Define blocks of code()
(parentheses): Enclose arguments for methods and functions[]
(square brackets): Denote arrays//
(double slashes): Mark a comment line"
(quotation marks): Enclose strings
Programming Errors
- Syntax errors: Detected by the compiler, indicating errors in the program's structure.
- Runtime errors: Cause the program to terminate abnormally during execution.
- Logic errors: Produce incorrect results, even though the program runs without errors.
