Basic Programming Concepts

Every Java program needs a "main" method in order to run.

Classes should be defined inside a source file.

Each statement in a Java program must end in a colon

Classes must be defined within a pair of parenthesis.

Java programs only run on Windows based computers.

Class names are usually lower case (if you do what most programmers do)

Java programs can only be written on a Windows based computer.

Methods should be defined in a source file.

All extra line space in source code doesn't matter.

The "public" identifier means only a limited amount of components will have access to it.

This is the name for a bunch of individual "characters" put together to form words.

Methods contain statements that tell a program what to do.
