Java First Program

Here we will create a java program and run it

Structure of Java Program

Lets see the basic structure of java program

class className {

    //main method of java program
    public static void main(String args[]) {
        //program execution starts from main method
    }
}

class className {

//main method of java program

public static void main(String args[]) {

//program execution starts from main method

}

Here:

class- is write to create a class.

class_name – is a name of class. It is a identifier.

public– is a access modifier is used for main() method accessible for every one.

static- class contain a main() method not have a object and if we want a access a class without create a object of that class then method main() must be declare as a static.

void- is a return type. Void denotes that main() method return noting.

main()– main is a method from where execution of program starts.

Syntax to print statement

System.out.println();

out: is a static member of the System class, and is an instance ofjava.io.PrintStream

println() or print(): is a method of java.io.PrintStream. Any thing written inside the round bracket will be print.
