question
What does line 1 define in a program?
answer
A class, Every Java program must have at least one class. Each class have a name. By convention, class names start with an uppercase letter.
question
What does line 2 define in a program?
answer
The main method. The program is executed from the main method. A class may contain several methods. The main method is the entry point where the program begins execution.
question
What does a method contain?
answer
It is constructed of statements. The main method is this program contains the System.out.println statement. This statement displays the string Welcome to Java! on the console (line4). String is a programming term meaning a sequence of characters/ A string must be enclosed in double quotation marks. Every statement in Java ends with a semicolon; known as a statement terminator.
question
What are reserved words or keywords?
answer
they have a specific meaning to the compiler and cannot be used for other purposes in the program. For example, when the compiler sees the word class, it understands that the word after class is the name fir the class. Other reserved words in this program, are public, static, and void.
question
What is Line 3?
answer
It is a comment that documents what the program is and how it is constructed. Comments help programmers to communicate and understand the program. They are not programming statements and thus are ignored by the compiler. In java, comments are preceeded by 2 //, on a line, called a line comment. or ecnclosed /* and */ on one or several lines, called a block comment or paragraph comment. When the compiler sees //, it ignores all text on the same line. When it sees /*, it scans for the next */ and ignores any text.
question
What do a pair of curly braces form?
answer
The form a block that groups the program's components. In Java, each block begins with a opening brace {, and ends with a closing }, Every class has a class block that groups the data and methods of the class. Similarly every method has a method block that groups the statement in the method. Blocks can be nested, meaning that one block can be placed within another.
question
Syntax errors,
answer
most common error. ( if a semicolon is missing, a brace is missing, a quotation mark is missing, or a word is misspelled) {}- denotes a block to enclose statements ()= used with methods [] denote an array // precede a comment line "" enclose a string ( sequence of characters) ; marks the end of a statement
question
What do you do if your program has run time errors?
answer
you have to modify it, recompile it, and execute it again.You can use any text editor or IDE to create or edit Java source code file.
question
What happens if you do not have any syntax errors?
answer
The compiler generates a bytecode file with a .class extension. This, the preceding commanding generates a file named Welcome.class. Java is translated into byte code and can be executed by any program or machine.
question
The java language
answer
is a high level language, but java bytecode is a low level language. The bytecode is similar to machine instructions, but is architecture neutral and can run on any platform that has Java virtual Machine. Java bytecode can run on a variety of hardware platforms and operating systems. Java source code is compiled into java bytecode and java bytecode is interpreted by JVM.
question
javac
answer
Welcome.java
question
Welcome.class
answer
java command
question
When executing a program,
answer
The java virtual machine first loads the bytecode of the class memory using a program classed the class order. If your pgroam uses other classes, the class loader dynamically loads them just before they are needed. After a class, is loader, the JVM uses a program called the bytecode verifer to check the validity of the bytecode and to ensure that the bytecode does not violate Java's security restrictions. Java enforces strict security to make sure files are not tampered with.
question
To rewrite a text in a message box you use:
answer
The Joption class option! it is one of the many predefine classed in the Java library. you can use this rather than reinvent the wheel.
question
There are two types of block statements
answer
next line style, and end of line style. The next line style aligns the braces vertically and makes programs easy to read, whereas the end of line style saves space, and avoids errors.
question
What are runtime errors
answer
They are errors that cause a program to terminate abnormally. They occur while a program is running in an environment that detects an operation that is impossible to carry out. Input mistakes typically cause runtime errors. An input erros occurs when the program is waiting for the user to enter a value, but the user enters a value that the program cannot handle. For instance, if the program expects to read in a number, but instead the user enters a string, this causes data-type errors.
