1) How Java Works

• Java follows the principle of “Write Once, Run Anywhere”.

• The Java compiler converts source code into bytecode.
• This bytecode is platform independent.
• The JVM executes the bytecode on different operating systems.
• This makes Java portable and secure.
2) Hello World Program
• It is the first and simplest Java program.
• The main() method is the entry point of execution.
• public makes the class accessible everywhere.
• static allows JVM to call main without creating an object.
• [Link]() prints output to the console.
3) Keywords
• Keywords are predefined reserved words in Java.
• They have special meaning to the compiler.
• They cannot be used as variable or method names.
• Examples include class, public, static, and final.
• Java has more than 50 reserved keywords.
4) Data Types and Variables
• Data types define the type of data a variable can store.
• Java has primitive and non-primitive data types.
• Primitive types include int, float, double, char, boolean.
• Non-primitive types include String, arrays, and objects.
• Variables are used to store values in memory.
5) Rules for Naming Identifiers
• Identifiers must start with a letter, $ or _.
• They cannot start with a number.
• They cannot be Java reserved keywords.
• Identifiers are case-sensitive.
• Example: age and Age are different.
6) Output Methods
• [Link]() prints output without new line.
• [Link]() moves cursor to next line.
• [Link]() is used for formatted output.
• These methods are part of PrintStream class.
• They help display results to the user.
7) Operators in Java
• Operators perform operations on variables.
• Arithmetic operators include +, -, *, /, %.
• Relational operators compare values.
• Logical operators include &&, ||, !.
• Assignment operators assign values to variables.
8) Pre vs Post Increment
• Pre-increment is written as ++a.
• In pre-increment, value increases first.
• Then the updated value is used.
• Post-increment is written as a++.
• In post-increment, value is used first, then increased.
9) Control Statements
• Control statements manage program flow.
• They include decision-making statements.
• They also include looping statements.
• Jumping statements like break and continue are included.
• They make programs logical and dynamic.

10) Conditional Statements

• Conditional statements help in decision-making.
• if executes code when condition is true.
• else executes code when condition is false.
• else if checks multiple conditions.
• They make programs smarter and flexible.
11) else-if vs switch
• if-else works with boolean conditions.
• It can check complex logical expressions.
• switch works with fixed values.

• Both are used based on requirement.
12) Loops
• Loops are used for repetition.
• for is used when iterations are known.
• while runs based on condition.
• do-while executes at least once.
• Loops reduce code repetition.
13) break and continue
• break terminates the loop.
• It stops execution immediately.
• continue skips current iteration.
• It moves to next iteration of loop.
• Both control loop behavior.
