Basics of Java

Welcome to Java Programming Basics

This website provides information and interactive examples for essential Java programming concepts. Click the links below to learn more about each concept.

Accept Input in Java

To accept input from the user in Java, you can use the Scanner class. Here's an example:

import java.util.Scanner;

public class InputExample {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
        
        System.out.print("Enter your name: ");
        String name = scanner.nextLine();
        
        System.out.print("Enter your age: ");
        int age = scanner.nextInt();
        
        System.out.println("Hello, " + name + "!");
        System.out.println("Your age is: " + age);
    }
}

Variables & Constants in Java

In Java, you can declare variables using various data types. Here's an example:

public class VariablesExample {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        int age = 30; // Integer variable
        final double PI = 3.14159; // Constant
        String name = "John"; // String variable
        System.out.println("Age: " + age);
        System.out.println("PI: " + PI);
        System.out.println("Name: " + name);
    }
}

Output in Java

To produce output in Java, you can use System.out.println(). Here's an example:

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

If-Else Statement in Java

You can use the if-else statement for conditional execution. Here's an example:

public class IfElseExample {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        int num = 10;
        if (num > 0) {
            System.out.println("Number is positive");
        } else {
            System.out.println("Number is non-positive");
        }
    }
}

Explode in Java

public class ExplodeExample {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String sentence = "This is a sample sentence";
        String[] words = sentence.split(" ");
        for (String word : words) {
            System.out.println(word);
        }
    }
}

Loops in Java

Loops are used for repeated execution of a block of code. Here's an example of a for loop:

public class LoopsExample {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        for (int i = 1; i <= 5; i++) {
            System.out.println("Iteration " + i);
        }
    }
}

Arrays in Java

Arrays are used to store multiple values of the same type. Here's an example:

public class ArraysExample {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        int[] numbers = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};
        for (int num : numbers) {
            System.out.println(num);
        }
    }
}

Functions in Java

Functions allow you to modularize your code. Here's an example:

public class FunctionsExample {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        int result = addNumbers(5, 10);
        System.out.println("Sum: " + result);
    }

    static int addNumbers(int a, int b) {
        return a + b;
    }
}

Switch Statement in Java

The switch statement allows you to perform different actions based on different conditions. Here's an example:

public class SwitchExample {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        int day = 3;
        String dayName;
        switch (day) {
            case 1:
                dayName = "Monday";
                break;
            case 2:
                dayName = "Tuesday";
                break;
            case 3:
                dayName = "Wednesday";
                break;
            // Add cases for other days as needed
            default:
                dayName = "Invalid day";
        }
        System.out.println("Day: " + dayName);
    }
}

Classes and Objects in Java

Java is an object-oriented programming language. Here's an example of a simple class and object:

public class Car {
    String make;
    String model;
    int year;

    public Car(String make, String model, int year) {
        this.make = make;
        this.model = model;
        this.year = year;
    }

    public void displayInfo() {
        System.out.println("Make: " + make);
        System.out.println("Model: " + model);
        System.out.println("Year: " + year);
    }
}

public class ClassesExample {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Car myCar = new Car("Toyota", "Camry", 2022);
        myCar.displayInfo();
    }
}

Exception Handling in Java

Java provides exception handling to deal with runtime errors. Here's an example:

public class ExceptionExample {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        try {
            int result = divide(10, 0);
            System.out.println("Result: " + result);
        } catch (ArithmeticException e) {
            System.out.println("Error: " + e.getMessage());
        }
    }

    static int divide(int a, int b) {
        return a / b;
    }
}
