Getting Started

Download and install Java, if you need to.

Hello World

This will walk through compiling and running a "Hello world" example in Java.

The program

Here's a simple Java "Hello world" program:

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

Compiling

To compile this program, use the javac command:

$ javac HelloWorld.java

This will create a HelloWorld.class file, which is the Java executable.

Running

To run a Java executable, use the java command, and pass it the executable's filename without the extension:

$ java HelloWorld
Hello, world!

File I/O

File I/O can be thought of in two parts: the file, and the contents of the file.

The File

A file can be represented using the File class. This is a handle to a file, and can be used to either obtain information about the file, or to pass to a file reader or writer to manipulate the file in some way.
