    Study Notes

    Java Basics

    • The first line 'public class Hello' in a Java program declares a new class named Hello and specifies its access level as public.

    Classes and Methods

    • The curly brackets { } in Java programming are used to define the body of a class, method, or control structure.
    • The method called 'main' in a Java application is the entry point where the program starts execution.
    • The keyword 'public' in 'public class Hello' specifies the access level of the class as public, making it accessible from anywhere.

    Code Structure and Naming Conventions

    • Within the curly brackets { } in a Java method, the code to be executed is contained.
    • In Java, the convention for naming classes is to use PascalCase (uppercase for the first letter of each word).

    Errors and Warnings

    • A missing semi-colon at the end of an instruction in Java indicates a syntax error.
    • A syntax error is an example of a compile-time error, which is caused by a violation of the programming language rules and is detected by the compiler.

    Output and Printing

    • The statement System.out.println() is used to print a string and move the cursor to the next line in Java.
    • The method System.out.print() is used to print a string in Java without moving the cursor to the next line.

    Code Readability and Comments

    • Indenting the code in a program is done to improve readability by visually separating the code into logical blocks.
    • The purpose of comments in a program is to provide explanations or notes about the code, making it easier for others (and the programmer themselves) to understand.

    Runtime and Strings

    • "println" stands for "print line" in Java.
    • A run-time error causes a program to terminate abnormally, often displaying an error message.
    • A sequence of characters enclosed in double quotes in Java is known as a string.
