// the first java program: just print something

// the class is named Test, so the file name must be Test.java
// Note: java is case-sensitive, so test is not the same as Test
public class Test {
	// every java application must have a main method
	// declared exactly as below
	public static void main( String [] args) {
		// the program code is inside the main method
		
		// printing the message to java console
		System.out.println("Here we go!");
	}
}

Program 2:

// demonstrating variables in java

public class Variables {
	public static void main(String [] args) {
		// declaring an integer variable x
		int x;
		// initializing x
		x = 0;
		
		// declaring and initializing y:
		int y = 5;
		
		// printing out the values:
		System.out.println("x = " + x + " y = " + y);
		
		// changing x:
		x = 3;		
		System.out.println("x = " + x);
		
		// changing y using x:
		y = x * 2;
		System.out.println("y = " + y);
		
		// changing x using x and y
		x = x - y/3;
		System.out.println("x = " + x + " y = " + y);
		
		// what would be the result of this?
		x = y/4;
		System.out.println("x = " + x);
		
		// and this?
		x = -x - 3;
		y = x/3;
		System.out.println("x = " + x + " y = " + y);
	}
}

public class Variables2 {
	public static void main (String[] args) {
		// variables of type double
		// you can declare variables of the same type on one line
		double x = 5.2, y = 3.5; 
		
		//
		double z = x - y;
		System.out.println("z = " + z);
		
		x = x/2;
		System.out.println("x = " + x);
		
		// what happens here?
		x = 5/2;
		System.out.println("x = " + x);
		
		//but if at least one of the arguments is a double,
		//the result is different:
		x = 5.0/2;
		System.out.println("x = " + x);
		
		// guess the result of this one:
		int i = 2;
		x = y/i + i/3;
		// System.out.println("x = " + x);
		
		// typecasting:
		z = (double)i/3;
		System.out.println("z = " + z);

1. Copy the code into a java file with the same name as the the class (for instance, the first program will go into the file Test.java) in a folder on C drive.
2. Open Command Prompt window. Go to the folder where your programs are: cd C:\myprograms (replace myprograms by the folder where you copied the files).
3. Compile the code: javac Test.java in the Command Prompt window.
4. Run it by command java Test.
