A Java program starts with public class NameOfClass { }. If you are using your own files for your code, each class should be in a separate file that matches the class name inside it, for example NameOfClass.java. Most Java classes have a main method that will be run automatically. It looks like this: public static void main(String[] args) { }. The System.out.print() and System.out.println() methods display information given inside the parentheses on the computer monitor. System.out.println moves the cursor to a new line after the information has been displayed, while System.out.print does not. A string literal is enclosed in double quotes (’’ ‘’). Java statements end in ; (semicolon). { } are used to enclose blocks of code. // and /* */ are used for comments. A compiler translates Java code into a class file that can be run on your computer. Compiler or syntax errors are reported to you by the compiler if the Java code is not correctly written. Some things to check for are ; at end of lines containing complete statements and matching { }, (), and "".
