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.
nlp-ai@cse.iitb
class class-name {
public static void main(String args[]) {
statement1;
statement2;


}
}
Structure of Java Programs

nlp-ai@cse.iitb
First.java
class First {

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

}
Example Program

nlp-ai@cse.iitb
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
Compiling & Running the Program

nlp-ai@cse.iitb
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
About Printing on the Screen

nlp-ai@cse.iitb
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 Tips About Programming

nlp-ai@cse.iitb
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?
