Java is an object-oriented program. OOP for short is a computer programming model that organizes the software around objects. One would define the objects (commands, variables) and then list how they will interact with each other. (What is Object-Oriented Programming, 2022).
The structure for object-oriented programming are as follows with brief descriptions :
- "Classes - are user defined data types for individual objects, attributes and methods.
- Objects - are instances of a class created specifically defined data. Objects can be real or abstract.
- Methods - are functions that are defined inside a class that describe a behavior of an object.
- Attributes - are defined in class template and represent the state of an object."

How do you start programming Java? Easy, just install a compiler and I suggest starting with the Hello World program. It's usually everyone's first step into programming with Java. Here is a video for how to install Eclipse Java Compiler - (12) How to Install Eclipse IDE on Windows 10 - YouTube . This video takes you through the installation process of installing Eclipse IDE. There is a cool addition to the program that helps you with "Hello World" as well. If you decide to use a different compiler here is the instructions from the Eclipse Program on how to create Hello World.
Here is some advice:
- Don't be afraid to experiment
- Learn Commands (Be the Java Dictionary!
- Brute Force is a solution
- If you need to do it line by line, command by command and feed the program.
- Use editor notes command //
- Nothing hurts more than a late night programming session and waking up in the morning and trying to figure out how or what you were programming.
- Have fun!
