1 | Since Java is object-oriented, programs are organized into modules called classes, which may have data in variables and subroutines called methods. |
2 | class HelloWorld |
3 | { public static void main (String[] args) |
4 | { System.out.println("Hello World!"); |
5 | } |
6 | } |
7 | Each program is enclosed in a class definition. |
8 | main() is the first method that is run. |
9 | The notation class.method or package.class.method is how to refer to a public method (with some exceptions). |
10 | Syntax is similar to C - braces for blocks, semicolon after each statement. One difference: upper and lower case matter! |
