Foil 32 The Simplest Java Application: Hello,World!

From Java Language in the Computer Science Curriculum ADMI Tutorial Duluth Minnesota -- June 3 99. by Geoffrey C. Fox


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