Meeting 2 – Java

Basics: Syntax,
Variables, and Data
Types

 Understand the
structure of a basic
Java program
 Identify and apply
Java syntax rules
 Declare and use
variables, values,
and strings in Java
 Every Java program must have a
class
 The main() method is the entry
point of execution

Java  [Link]() displays output


 Example:
Program  public class HelloJava {
Structur  public static void main(String[]
args) {
e  [Link]("Hello,
World!");
 }
 }
Basic Java Syntax Rules

Java is case- Every statement


sensitive (Main ≠ ends with a
main) semicolon ;

Code blocks are


Use meaningful
enclosed in curly
variable names
braces { }
Variables
in Java
 A variable is a
named storage
location in
memory
 Must be declared
with a data type
before use
 Example: int age =
20;
 int → whole numbers
 double → decimal numbers
Java Data  String → text

Types 

Example:
String name = "Maria";
 double gpa = 1.75;
Strings in Java

A SEQUENCE OF EXAMPLE: STRING SCHOOL = [Link]


CHARACTERS "MIT OZAMIZ"; N("I STUDY AT " +
ENCLOSED IN SCHOOL);
DOUBLE QUOTES " "
Sample Program –
Personal Information
 public class PersonalInfo {
 public static void main(String[] args) {
 String name = "Juan Dela Cruz";
 String course = "BSCS";
 int year = 1;
 String school = "MIT Ozamiz";
 [Link]("Name: " + name);
 [Link]("Course: " + course);
 [Link]("Year Level: " + year);
 [Link]("School: " + school);
 }
 }
 Java programs follow a structure:
class → main method → statements
Summary  Variables store values and must have
/ Key a data type
 Strings allow us to work with text
Takeaways  Writing and running simple programs
helps understand Java fundamentals
 Hands-on: Write a Java program that
displays your name, course, year
level, and school
Activities  Group Work: Analyze a short Java
code snippet and identify variables,
data types, and output statements
