0003 A Closer Look at the Example.java
<![CDATA[
Here is the code we just created.
/*
This is a simple Java program. Call this file "Example.java".
*/
public class Example {
// Your program begins with a call to main().
public static void main(String args[]) {
System.out.println("Java.");
}
}
The first part is a comment.
/*
This is a simple Java program. Call this file "Example.java".
*/
Comment is a remark for a program. The contents of a comment are ignored by the compiler. The next line of code in the program is shown here:
public class Example {
The keyword class declares that a new class is being defined.
Example is the name of the class.
The entire class definition is between the opening curly brace ({) and the closing curly brace (}). The next line in the program is the single-line comment, shown here:
// Your program begins with a call to main().
A single-line comment begins with a // and ends at the end of the line. The next line of code is shown here:
public static void main(String args[]) {
Java applications begin execution by calling main(String args[]). Java is case-sensitive. Thus, Main is different from main.
