I'd really like to have the sample code for these lessons so that I can follow along and tweak on my computer while I watch.

Maury, I notice you do not capitalize like so:

public class AccountCredit. To have public class accountcredit from what I understand could cause a compile error, but I could be mistaken. Thank you for taking time out to clarify this. I really enjoy working watching and working on programming with your videos.

I apologize as I was able to get public class accounntcredit to compile. I guess most textbooks just use the capital letter naming convention.

I need to know where is the other class being called exactly in the code, I mean the precise lines in the code that are calling the other class, as I'm trying to do this and failing miserably.

Java is not hard but some people try to show you that you have to be very smart to get what is java ... i'm really sorry for the people who comes here and pay money to start with, privet, or high level code which is a big puzzle for people who came to start from zero ??

you just moved from " Hello World " to use private and calling method

you starting with puzzle code

I wish if I can speak English to teach you guys introduction to Java

After setting up the "public class accountcredit", which extension do we use to save the file - .class or .java? Thank you.

This is not teaching. The instructor narrates code which includes concepts that have not been taught.

I copied your code for the Squaresandcubes code but the following code for 1 thru 0:

System.out.printf("%d\t%d\t%d
"), x, (x * x), (x * x * x ));
x = 1;

Generates the following error for each line as follows:

C:\Users\jpellam.DEVELOPMENT\Documents\NetBeansProjects\squaresandcubes\src\squaresandcubes\Squaresandcubes.java:24: not a statement
System.out.printf("%d\t%d\t%d
"), x, (x * x), (x * x * x ));
C:\Users\jpellam.DEVELOPMENT\Documents\NetBeansProjects\squaresandcubes\src\squaresandcubes\Squaresandcubes.java:24: ';' expected

Not sure what I am missing. Thanks

can a float or a double be negative? For example: -21.23234

Classes, Objects, and Methods

  • Java uses Classes, Objects, and Methods in order to perform tasks
  • Classes contain the general information about the program, whereas Objects are specific instances of Classes.
  • Methods are sets of instructions that tell the classes and objects what to do
  • Java has a small set of Primitive Data Types which define basic data such as text and numbers
  • All data types can be used as declared variables
  • When an object is initialized for the first time, a Constructor is used to specify attributes
