• 
• 
• 
Run once deploy everywhere (runs on ‘virtual
machine’ JVM)!
Most used programming language in the world!
Very similar to C++, C#!
Most Android applications are programmed in Java!

Writing a java program!
1st step: Creating a class!
!
public class welcome!
!
{!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
}!
!
!
8!
Writing a java program!
2nd step: Adding the main method!
public class welcome!
!
{!
!
public static void main(String
[] arguments)!
!
!
{!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
! !
}!
!
}!
9!
First Java Program!
public class welcome !
{!
public static void main(String[] arguments)!
{!
//Program execution begins here
System.out.println(“Hello World”);!
!
} //end method
} //end class
Output:!
Hello World!
10!
Program Structure!
public class CLASSNAME
{!
public static void main(String [] arguments)!
{!
!
//Commands
}!
}!
11!
Output!
System.out.println(String)!
•  Outputs a word or a number to the console.!
•  Output has to be between speech marks.!
•  i.e “Output123_*&!”!
12!
Example 2!
public class Second{!
public static void main (String[] arguments){!
System.out.print(“Hello”);!
System.out.println(“Goodbye”);!
}!
}!
Output:!
HelloGoodbye!

How do we compile and run
our program!
1.  We need to save our class in a file with a .java
extension. The name of the class has to be the same
as the name of the file.
2.  Using the terminal (or command for Windows
users) window, we have to direct the computer to the
directory (folder) the file is in, using the cd (change
directory) command. If you want to “move up” a
folder you use, cd NameOfFolder, if you want to go
back, “move down”, you use cd .. .
3.  To compile we type javac welcome.java!
4.  To run we type java welcome
14!
Now you try it!!
public class welcome {!
public static void main(String[] arguments){!
//Program execution begins here
System.out.println(“Hello World”);!
!
} //end method
1.  Open Terminal window!
} //end class
2.  cd NameOfNextFolder!
3.  javac NameOfClass.java!
4.  java NameOfClass!
15!
