op, if you're afraid of getting conversant with the command prompt for java, how would you cope with linux and unix , operating systems that are designed more for programmers/hacker types?
If you cant use the command line for writing small projects , which is all you'll be writing as a noob , then you really arent ready for programming. They're harder concepts in programming than using the terminal, and they'll be no one to always hold your hand when you face them.
What about git/version control? You'll look for ide support for everything? They're gui wrappers for it , but for
real work, you have to drop down to the command line.
Get used to it. Embrace it. At least this is not assembly language or C, that you could say the fear is understandable, this is just javac <file> or java <class> .

Linux is remain the Best for Java

C isn't too hard, except you getting into misunderstood harder things like WIN32 and objective C (cocoa) then you find out that it's hard, compared to c++ which has very misunderstood libraries, even when learning itself. I code C and compile in c++. I write kernel mode drivers and use the OSR loader to load into 32bit processes. For 64bit I have to disable patch guard to run my driver. As 64 bit has kpp protection. This is advanced for you, so don't bother looking into it.

The part of Assembly which is say difficult may be HLA (high level assembler), Nasm, masm,fasm almost follow the same syntax, but he won't be needing that, he's not doing reverse engineering or low level programming, so don't worry.

I been coding in C, and java I didn't find it hard, the only part which may seem hard is when you using swing classes, awt (appletviewer), or maybe using ADT for Android(where you get to understand xml, and the activity inheritance whatever, and code simultaneously) as beginners, other than that if you understand basic java, you can code android using ADT.

I would advise if you are gonna be a master of Java, C#, smalltalk, and c++, you must study C, that way you get to understand things correctly in java, and try to get used to using an IDE I think after few weeks of using the cmd or terminal (in linux)

Good luck coding java.

Your response was completely irrelevant.
You should have kept it within context.

this is what i said, and i was adressing a noob.

At least this is not assembly language or C, that you could say the fear is understandable, this is just javac <file> or java <class>

The question was, should a noob begin from the command line or an ide.
My response was to that question. All the talk about kernel drivers and i wouldnt understand is childish drivel.
They're are specialties tech. In the end, no matter what you know, you still only know a drop in the ocean of knowledge in tech. It would take you a lifetime to even get to expert levels in any field. I mean even the fields you look down on. Stay humble and dont get snooty. It will take you far in your career.

Good luck reasoning straight.

You are a very stupid person. Your stupidity shows you don't know anything. Read the bolded, and stop exhibiting signs of hate for Knowledge which you know in 7000 years, you are likely not to achieve.
People like you don't know anything, when I started like you,i do ask questions other than show unnecessary hate. I ask questions and they teach me. Hate and ignorance, I bet you won't take you beyond this level of crap you say u know.
Once again, you can go showcase your idiocy and frustration some place else. E day pain you say I know pass you, na hard work do am. Not some hate and crap like you showcase to 1 million plus people. Mr know all. Thought I was talking to someone who's reasonable, Ode.

I dont have time to get trade words with anoda immature forum poster.
The worst kind of people to argue with are those who degenerate into emotional feats leaving logic and reasoning.
Go to hacker news, SO and see how people argue, disagree and fight(if i may use the word).

E day pain you say i know pass you - Did you read where i said, they're specialties within I.T and gaining mastery in any subfield takes time even lifetimes? Go think about that phrase. It will do you much good.
So you write kernel drivers for fun, since age 3, does that make you better than the moderators that keep nairaland going at the back end so that you can come here and advertise your immaturity? Without those mods or the admins, or the database admins doing mumu work at the back end they'd b no nairaland and you wouldnt enjoy this service for FREE!! . You'r better than nobody. You just play your part and they play theirs that's how modern societies work. so dont look down on nobody. As for your kernel drivers , they world is yet to see what you've come up with. Linus gave us linux, stallman man gave gnu compilers and emacs. What are you going to give us with all your kernel driver knowledge? Or is only bragging that you know bla and bla that you'll do? Grow up.

Well, at least I have accomplished something to brag about, a lot of things, I didn't start learning to code drivers since age 3, your stupidity should have aired on that...

You have two major problems, which you bring from hacker news,it would interest you to know, I'm not there and it's the same low and very immature behaviour you bring on here. When you see who knows what,you criticise and beef. That's what idiots do on hacker news and you bring those stupid behaviour here.

I'm on unknowncheats.me and rohitab and I have coded several game hacks, serial generators, done serious API hooking using hde engines (delphi/ c++) and I have done pen testing to name a few. I'm not admin there, but I have gained respect. Thanks to the low behaviour I showed, God first and the friends I have made there. If I did behave like the enemy of progress that you are, I wouldn't have known jack.

With my other ID, gimakon, I have been able to teach assembly and reverse engineering here on Nairaland, you can use the search box. So if I haven't achieved anything, I would not be proud. Yes I am proud of my work and I'd like to teach people who want to learn and we learn hand in hand as well, not people who don't know things and argue and beef.. that's balderdash.

Go and learn to behave to people. You obviously don't know anything. Instead of learning or make friends you insult people, you see what it is to be rude now. Carry your Mr know all behaviour smell comot my screen jo.

The first sign i was tackling a fool was when you made this blunder of equating those who code in higher level languages as being somewhat intellectually inferior.
So a java developer is inferior to ppl who write kernel drivers or what?
Or assembly language or writing low level drivers is inscrutable to those who code in higher languages?
You are advertising your foolishness. Like i said, reasoning properly isn't your strong suit.

Any motivate person could learn anything, there's no magic to assembly or low level driver writing.
But why would they? They maybe just too busy with their current jobs.
A front end developer working 10+ hours a day may have no interest in learning technology for the sake of being cool or acquiring knowledge. He has enough problems keeping up with the plethora of frameworks and changes in his field already. You just dont get it because you're dense. People have other things to occupy themselves with. If they want their learnng
to end at using higher level languages, fine. A kindergaten kid could understand this.
You just dont. Morons like you only know how to degenerate into senseless cussing instead of addressing the point raised.
remember the initial point:
Should a java noob understand the command line for programming or not
You started ranting senselessly about c, and drivers and how i may not understand!
Completely irrelevant drivel.

noting is wrong when arguements arises from forum posts or debates. It is healthy. When it goes wrong is when its goes personal just like you have done. It is bad and its uncalled for, immature and childish. When attempting to answer or help people, go straight and be specific. We call what you just did showboating(un-necessary comments). A simple question was asked and it needs a straight forward answer and yet you gave irrelevant answer to the question. Instead of taking corrections, you kept bragging about your achievements(which nobody asked for).

Good talk.

Can't you see the slowpoke is very rude. Someone asks a question, I answered and I didn't take it personal. The guy says what I said is irrelevant and repeated the same thing I told the guy. So the difference between what I said and what he said was just that,he wanted to show he could program, when he hasn't done anything to contribute to what the guy asked or on forums. Just scribble long epistles and insult people, that's what the dog knows.

When someone asked, I replied and said he can use the command line, then after few weeks, he can then use the IDE. This man just come with em lie lying tounge, I don't know maybe he doesn't understand English, and he's been looking for who to join him. would appreciate if you read it again from the beginning and see who's childish here.

I said the guy should learn C first, then come to java so that he can have good connection of how things work. Most steps java followed were copied from smalltalk and C, that's why I recommended the guy know C before coming to java. This pig, is saying I take low level programmers high esteem than high level. And he's been hauling insults and saying I should learn to think straight, even at aptech,before you learn java, they'd advise you know C, NIIT as well. Now judge in me and this animal who knows what he's saying.

Now here is what I said and I quote

I would advise if you are gonna be a master of Java, C#, smalltalk, and c++, you must study C, that way you get to understand things correctly in java, and try to get used to using an IDE I think after few weeks of using the cmd or terminal (in linux)

You should've said that you're aptech trash. That's y you just regurgitated what they fed you there.
"Start with C, then move to java". Aptech does that to unnecessarily complicate programming and charge more.
Like i said b4, go to stackOverflow, hackernews, etc and see how intelligent respectful people argue/air their opinions and disagree. How they construct and marshall arguments.
You just came over here to publicise your crassness and immaturity.
You write pages of nonsense. No logic, no connection. No intelligent point.
Some1 is asking about using the command line and u're spewing crap about writing low level drivers,
then capping it up with insult: I wont understand because i use java! - Man! how more out of point could you get. How relevant were your drivels!

Sign you're dealing with an empty vessel on public forums in by how quickly they deviate off topic into emotional, illogical drivels
Learn C indeed.

Only a loud and selfless person talks this way, you are clearly the empty vessel here. Making the most noise. This guy went to aptech, how do you know, did he tell you that?

This man said use command line, much later maybe after a few weeks, use an IDE, I don't believe he said anything wrong here, and besides everyone has abandoned this topic for you. Your foolishness didn't tell you it's ok,i'm made to believe his claims aren't vague, they are real. Oga, you cannot program, and your frustration is taking it out on people.

This whytelyon may sound rude, but he's one guy who's really helping out here. At least he helped me today when I had an issue, just shut up and learn to program. If it's java, good program your java and keep quiet. This your over sabi hasnt helped anyone on Nairaland, someone who's helping you hauling insults at him. Na wa o.

Whatever your name is, whether you're his second moniker or what, you're so stupid you can't even reason.
Did you read the posts from that animal that preceeded this?
You just want to jump to take sides from a biased mind while trying to appear impartial.
Your white<trash> or whatever is moniker is doestn sound rude, he is senselessly illogical and animalistic.
If you dont know how to wade into arguments , you buzz off. Trashy entities. You and your croony , elongated this thread without adding any substance to it. That's how you people are, only able to contribute and make a post if it is hollow. "What have i contributed?" - ask yourself that. I'm not accountable to you.
The question the newbie asked i addressed bfore your alter ego, stormed in to rant nonsense about irrelevant trash-writing drivers and how java guys can't understand it,because its above their heads-.

Besides , for you info, this isnt really a programming forum. It's more like a noob hang out. They're very few experienced
programmers here.

The guy helped you, because , you're soggy in your head. You're too lame to think things thru. A noob who needs some1 to do his homework, no wonder your drooling over him like a dog.
Better stay humble being the noob you are. Programming requires a humble attitude, which you lack.
Mumu, you meant to say, selfish person, but ended up saying something positive without knowing selfless is a good term.

You jumped straight to an IDE? I don't think that's a good idea, it will help you to learn how to compile and run programs on the command line and using just Notepad++ to write code.

IDEs are better for beginners. Don't try and complicate things for the OP

Ups01:


IDEs are better for beginners. Don't try and complicate things for the OP

IDEs are crutches that will create unnecessary dependencies for noobs. Beginners should over come their fear of the command line , which is what this is all about, fear . It wont bite them. There's no snake there!
Knowing how to use the command line will make them appreciate what the ide is doing for them, and give them alternatives. Imagine installing their language compiler then not being able to check if its on the system, because they are crippled at the command line.

asalimpo:
op, if you're afraid of getting conversant with the command prompt for java, how would you cope with linux and unix , operating systems that are designed more for programmers/hacker types?
If you cant use the command line for writing small projects , which is all you'll be writing as a noob , then you really arent ready for programming. They're harder concepts in programming than using the terminal, and they'll be no one to always hold your hand when you face them.
What about git/version control? You'll look for ide support for everything? They're gui wrappers for it , but for
real work, you have to drop down to the command line.
Get used to it. Embrace it. At least this is not assembly language or C, that you could say the fear is understandable, this is just javac <file> or java <class> .

Hello,sir. I actually started reading Java this month, i am still stuck at using Airthmetic operators.

My major problem is the environment i'd use to learn. How do i use the CLI to get started with?

Please, give me a walk through on how to start using CLI, i am really interested in Java programming. Thank u

I am having an ant error when I compile a program on Eclipse. Please, how do I rectify this?

Please, help me with this code. The code is to accept a score from its user and display the corresponding grade. It will also ask if the user want to continue or not.

import java.util.Scanner;

public class Grade
{
	public static void main(String[]args)
	{
	int score; 
	boolean res = y;
	
	
	Scanner input = new Scanner (System.in);
	
	System.out.print("Enter a score: ";
	score = input.nextInt();
	
	do {
	
	if(score >= 70)
	System.out.print("Your grade is A";
	else if(score >= 60)
	System.out.print("Your grade is B";
	else if(score >= 50)
	System.out.print("Your grade is C";
	else if(score >= 45)
	System.out.print("Your grade is D";
	else if(score >= 40)
	System.out.print("Your grade is E";
	else if(score < 40)
	System.out.print("Your grade is F";
	System.out.print("\nDo you want  to continue?(1 = yes/2 = no): ";
	res = input.nextBoolean();
	}
	while (res = y);
	}
}

		
			

The error I got when I compiled this was "cannot find symbol". I need prompt response, please.
