Compiling and Execution

-

  • Create a temporary folder C:\mywork. Using Notepad or another text editor, create a small Java file HelloWorld.java as shown in the HelloWorld example in the HelloWorld chapter.
  • Save your file as HelloWorld.java in C:\mywork. To make sure your file name is HeloWorld.java, (not HelloWorld.java.txt), first choose "Save as file type:" All files, then type in the file name HelloWorld.java.
  • Run Command Prompt (found under All Programs/Accessories in the Start menu).
Type:

1. C:\cd \mywork

 This makes C:\mywork the current directory.

 2. C:\mywork>; dir

 This displays the directory contents. You should see HelloWorld.java among the files.

3. C:\mywork> javac HelloWorld.java

 This runs javac.exe,the compiler. You should see nothing but the next system prompt...

4. C:\mywork>; dir

 javac has created the HelloWorld.class file. You should see HelloWorld.java and HelloWorld.class among the files.

5. C:\mywork> java HelloWorld

This runs the Java interpreter. You should see the program output: Hello, World!

Naming Conventions

Image
A naming convention is a rule to follow as you decide what to name your identifiers (e.g. class, package, variable, method, etc..). Different Java programmers can have different styles and approaches to the way they program. By using standard Java naming conventions they make their code easier to read for themselves and for other programmers. Cases in Java Naming Convention: Using the right letter case is the key to following a naming convention: Lowercase is where all the letters in a word are written without any capitalization (e.g., while, if, mypackage). Uppercase is where all the letters in a word are written in capitals. When there are more than two words in the name use underscores to separate them (e.g., MAX_HOURS, FIRST_DAY_OF_WEEK). CamelCase (also known as Upper CamelCase) is where each new word begins with a capital letter (e.g., CamelCase, CustomerAccount, PlayingCard). Mixed case (also known as Lower CamelCase) is the same as CamelCase except the fir...

if..else..if Loader

Syntax: if(condition-1) {    //Statements which will be executed if condition-1 is true } else if (condition-2) {    //Statements which will be executed if condition-2 is true } . . . . else if (condition-n) {    //Statements which will be executed if condition-n is true } else {    //Statements which will be executed if none of the conditions in condition-1, condition2,…condition-n are true. }    //Statements which will be executed always As you can see in this if-else-if ladder, conditions are evaluated from top. First condition-1 will be evaluated and if this is true, the code inside the if block will be executed. If condition-1 is false, condition-2 will be evaluated. If condition-2 is true, the code inside that else if block will be executed. If condition-2 is false, condition-3 will be evaluated. This will go on like this. If none of the conditions are true, the code inside the else block wil...

Nested if..else Statement

-
You can combine multiple if / if-else /if-else-if ladders when a series of decisions are involved. So you can make sure that your program executes certain instructions when a series of conditions are met. Syntax: if(Boolean_expression 1) { //Executes when the Boolean expression 1 is true; } if(Boolean_expression 2) { //Executes when the Boolean expression 2 is true } //Statements which will be executed always      Example: public class Test {    public static void main(String args[])    {        int x = 30;        int y = 10;        if( x == 30 )        {            if( y == 10 )            {            System.out.prin...
