    Did You Know?

    Fun Fact

    Java was created by James Gosling in 1995! Today it runs on over 3 billion devices worldwide — from smartphones to servers to smart TVs. The Java logo is a coffee cup because it was named after Java coffee!

    Sample Programs (Practice)

    Program 1: Hello World

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

    Program 2: Add Two Numbers

    import java.util.Scanner;
    
    public class AddNumbers {
        public static void main(String[] args) {
            Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
            System.out.print("Enter first number: ");
            int a = sc.nextInt();
            System.out.print("Enter second number: ");
            int b = sc.nextInt();
            int sum = a + b;
            System.out.println("Sum = " + sum);
        }
    }

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Q1. How do I remember all the operators?

    Practice! Write small programs using each operator. Create flashcards for quick review.

    Q2. What's the difference between int and double?

    int stores whole numbers (like 5, 100). double stores decimal numbers (like 5.5, 99.99).

    Q3. Why does 10/3 give 3, not 3.33?

    Because both are integers. Integer division truncates the decimal. Use 10.0/3 or 10/3.0 to get 3.33.

    Q4. What if I forget to import Scanner?

    You'll get a compilation error. Always add import java.util.Scanner; at the top.

    Q5. Should I always start class name with uppercase?

    Yes! It's a Java convention (PascalCase). Examples: HelloWorld, StudentName.

    Q6. What's the difference between = and ==?

    = assigns a value (x = 5). == compares two values (x == 5).

    Q7. How can I improve my score?

    Practice more programs, understand concepts thoroughly, and review your mistakes.

    Q8. Is BlueJ the only IDE for Java?

    No! There are many: IntelliJ IDEA, Eclipse, NetBeans, VS Code. BlueJ is best for beginners.

    Key Takeaways
