Code Examples and Tutorials

Learning Java programming requires hands-on practice with real code examples. Below, you'll find comprehensive code samples that demonstrate fundamental concepts, common programming patterns, and practical implementations. Each example is carefully explained to help you understand not just what the code does, but why it's written that way and how you can adapt it for your own projects.

1public class HelloWorld {
2    public static void main(String[] args) {
3        System.out.println("Hello, World!");
4    }
5}

1int age = 25;
2double price = 19.99;
3String name = "John";
4boolean isActive = true;
5char grade = 'A';

1public int add(int a, int b) {
2    return a + b;
3}

5public static void main(String[] args) {
6    HelloWorld hw = new HelloWorld();
7    int result = hw.add(5, 3);
8    System.out.println("Sum: " + result);

1public class Person {
2    private String name;
3    private int age;
4    
5    public Person(String name, int age) {
6        this.name = name;
7        this.age = age;
8    }
9    
10    public void display() {
11        System.out.println(name + " is " + age + " years old");
12    }
13}

15public class Main {
16    public static void main(String[] args) {
17        Person person = new Person("John", 25);
18        person.display();
19    }
