Overview of Java

Java is a high-level, object-oriented programming language that is widely used for building enterprise-scale applications, web applications, mobile applications, and more. Known for its portability across platforms thanks to the Java Virtual Machine (JVM), Java is one of the most popular programming languages in the world.

Key Features of Java:

Basic Syntax

Java uses curly braces {} to define blocks of code, and statements end with a semicolon ;. Here’s a simple example:

if (true) {
    System.out.println("This is a block of code.");
}

Java Examples:

Here are some basic examples of Java code:

1. Hello World

public class HelloWorld {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("Hello, World!");
    }
}

2. Simple Calculator

public class Calculator {
    public static int add(int a, int b) {
        return a + b;
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        int result = add(5, 3);
        System.out.println("The sum is: " + result);
    }
}

3. Factorial Calculation

public class Factorial {
    public static int factorial(int n) {
        if (n == 0) {
            return 1;
        } else {
            return n * factorial(n - 1);
        }
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println(factorial(5)); // Output: 120
    }
}

Data Types in Java

Java supports various data types, including:

Control Flow

Java uses control flow statements such as if, for, and while to control the execution of code:

for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
    System.out.println(i);
}

Functions (Methods) in Java

Methods are defined within a class and are used to perform operations. Here’s an example:

public class Greeter {
    public static String greet(String name) {
        return "Hello, " + name + "!";
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println(greet("Alice")); // Output: Hello, Alice!
    }
}

Common Libraries and Frameworks

Some popular libraries and frameworks include:

Using the Code Editor

To run Java code, you typically use an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) like Eclipse or IntelliJ IDEA. Here’s how you can compile and run Java code from the command line:

  1. Open a terminal and navigate to the directory containing your Java file.
  2. Compile the code using: javac YourFileName.java.
  3. Run the compiled class using: java YourFileName.
