[Java] Basic Programs

[xrex64]

I'm really new to programming, and I'd like to learn by editing some programs. Can you guys post any simple programs you've made that I can mess around with? Thanks. 

[piplupgao]

system.out.println("hello world");

[xrex64]

system.out.println("hello world");

10x less basic.

[_ASSASSIN_]

10x less basic.

uh, that's literally the most basic thing you can do.

I said less basic.

oh lepel

you should start playing with trees.

that's not something i would ever recommend

you'd better learn by creating

People learn differently, but the best you could do (normally) is to visit Codeacademy or something like that to get you going, or some tutorials on Youtube

 

I can show you a little dice game I made for a Math project at school, it does contain most of the basics so if you understands that you have a start

Enjoy

also remember that in other people's programs there are other people's mistakes

and you don't want to learn other people's mistakes

import java.awt.*;import javax.swing.*; public static void main (String args[]){ gui.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE); gui.setVisible(true); gui.pack(); gui.setTitle("Made in Java");}

As per requested, some Java code. This code creates a actual window in Java to display images[sprites] and other features.

that's another example of what i meant: he forgot to copypaste a crucial part of the code (source)

 

just read a tutorial and experiment java yourself

May bad, edited.

now it's worse

It's simple, just like he wanted it. What did you expect, a game?

It doesn't matter how simple it is if it doesn't work.

It doesn't work? I need to review my Java coding...

no, just a simple java program ...

I think you should start here ...

What problems? D:

Seemed to work fine for me

[Ciccioo]

what i meant and probably @MrSuperb as well with that comment is that your code isn't a great 'learning example' either: the fact that a code compiles and even works doesn't mean that it's a good code

the 'good programming' is also made of software design, and that's what a newbie should learn along with the syntax of the language

your code does not make a correct use of java, so it's not something that should be 'studied'

it's a good start for you, who are practising, not for him, who has to learn

Ookey, I have had 3 courses now at the University which involved Java only or quite alot, I guess there is basic stuff they don't care teaching us d:

class TestPlayer and TestPlayer2? presumibly very similar? with no inheritance? they probably tought you about this

edit: also, saying that your example covers most of the basics is a bit ambitious

[ThreePinkApples]

there is very little similar in those classes, I thought of having inheritance but it just seemed unnecessary

 

But when I look over it now, a few things was added a month after initial creation, so now it could have some actually purpose

[MrSuperb]

if(checkForNewPlayer()){                        bank.put(playerName,0);                }//xxxxxxpublic boolean checkForNewPlayer(){                if(bank.containsKey(playerName)){                        return false;                }                else{                        return true;                }        }

just one example ...

you are jumping around in your code without any structure.

you are ignoring the most basic guidelines how to use OOP
