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! |
