What is java programming about

JAVA Programming Language is a language that makes it easier to model real life problems.

Java programming involves the use of onject-oriented-programming methodology. this is a style of programming where problems are broken into objects just like real life objects. for example, if u wanna write a prog in Java to move a car, after listing out ur components such as tyre, steering, engine, all theses things can be represented and translated into java language as individual object. then each of them is arranged into classes based on their functions. their functions are specified by what is called method.
Java is very interesting because it is OOP(OBJECT ORIENTED PROGRAMMING) other languages which are not OOP are Procedural Programming Languages.

getting to know the concepts behind everything is always advisable, so read about OOP and get someone to explain to you(or post your problems here), you will be happy

imaginate_cent: IT IS ALL ABOUT PROGRAMING OF ATTRIBUTE.. IT IS AN OBJECT ORIENTED LANGUAGE.. IT IS USE IN DEVELOPING APPLICATION BUT WEB AND STANDALONE APP... IT IS QUIET DIFFICULT BUT EASY TO UNDERSTAND....

wow! I tink its kinda cool. pls i am a bsc economcs holder (preparin for servic) and preparin to writ my frst ICAN paper by nov/dec but realy luv IT a lot even tho i dnt kno a thing( i min a zero-knowledg newbi) about webdesign-talk les of programmin; netwrkin; and so on..can i stil muscle up the courage to self-study it on my own? And also become a master in it like you guys? Wil i lack the fundamental knowledge if i decide to ram on python or java for instance?..i nid answers from d gurus, thanx.

@ prodam - thanks a lot for †ђє brief explaination. I will like †☺ get more of †ђє explaination, is there any book or site I could use?

java programming is about tediousness, verbosity, and general unhappiness for a programmer

If you want to really learn OOP, Java is the language to start with, it might be difficult at the begining but ones you nail it, Java becomes the so cheap. I feel so comfortable when coding with java than php, python etc. C# is another very good language but will only appreciate it if you are coming from java background

I want to go into Software Engineering (ICT n d rest) but am not good in mathematics. Plz can I cope up without knowledge of mathematics. Cos I have a scholarship to go to UK and am contemplating on Medicine or ICT....but I do really love ICT 100%....jus dt ma Parents wants a Doc in d family since am d only dude in d house. Plz i need advice and am not good in Calculations @ all

Java isn't nearly as "cool" as Python is for OOP. Python is easier and more expressive(!) than Java. Try this:

[code language=Python]
with file('example.txt', 'w') as f:
f.write('Hello, world!')
[/code]

In Java this will probably take 10 - 30 lines. Thats just for expressivity, need I say more for pure OOP? Less error prone (no braces, semicolons etc). Java sure is a powerful language but it certainly ain't better than Python! Difficult + Eccentric != Best

Java=pain, unhappiness, frustration, low programmer productivity

^^^ that is a very sad post

That is a lame argument cos this is a very straight-forward issue. just give us the java equivalent so we can count the lines and see!

You were referencing a file there, Why don't you write the code from scratch.

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

How many Lines do you see?

;DNairaland. ;DNairaland. I think i saw how many lines..

Dude that is the complete code. What it does is open a file named "example.txt" in write mode or if the file does not create it in the current working directory and then write the message "Hello, world!" into the file. You can try running it as-is and it'd work perfectly. Secondly, if all I wanted was to print directly to the console I could just say:

print("Hello, world!"

or do this:

import sys
sys.stdout.write("Hello, world"

either case will still be less verbose. Correct your example to write to a file and then we can talk further.

I stand corrected, sorry.
