Some Basics

Q. What is a program? Ans. A sequence of instructions that a computer can interpret and execute. Q. Why Java and not Hindi / Marathi / English? Ans. Since, so far, computer is not intelligent enough to understand natural languages.

Structure of Java Programs

class class-name { public static void main(String args[]) { statement1; statement2;

} nlp-ai@cse.iitb

Example Program
First.java class First {

public static void main(String args[]) { System.out.println(Hello World); }

Compiling & Running the Program

Compiling: is the process of translating source code written in a particular programming language into computer-readable machine code that can be executed. $ javac First.java This command will produce a file First.class, which is used for running the program with the command java. Running: is the process of executing program on a computer. $ java First

About Printing on the Screen

1. System.out.println(Hello World); outputs the string Hello World followed by a new line on the screen. 2. System.out.print(Hello World); - outputs the string Hello World on the screen. This string is not followed by a new line.

3. Some Escape Sequence

\n stands for new line character \t stands for tab character

Some Tips About Programming

Some common errors in the initial phase of learning programming: - Mismatch of parentheses - Missing ; at the end of statement

- Case sensitivity
The best way to learn programming is writing a lot of programs on your own.

Some Assignments
1. Write a program which prints the following information about at least 5 persons:

NAME MAIL-ID EMPLOYEE-CODE PHONE

Eg. Umesh umesh@cse p03161 25764728 Salil salil@cse p03160 25764728

Each entry should be on a separate line. 2. Write a program that prints the following line on the screen along with quotes. Can we print \ with System.out.println() statement?
