Hello World!!
Hello World
class HelloWorld
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
System.out.println("Hello, World!");
}
}
If all goes well, you should see the following output:
Hello, World!
Explaination:
- All code is contained within a class, in this case HelloWorld.
- The file name must match the class name and have a .java extension, for example: HelloWorld.java.
- All executable statements are contained within a method, in this case named main().
- Use System.out.println() to print text to the terminal.
Note:
- Classes and methods (including other flow-control structures) are always defined in blocks of code enclosed by curly braces { }.
- All other statements are terminated with a semi-colon (;).
- Java language is case-sensitive! This means that HelloWorld is not the same as helloworld, nor is String the same as string.
