Chapter I - Objectives
To be able to write simple Java applications To be able to use input and output statements

To be able to use arithmetic operators

To be able to write decision-making statements To be able to use relational and equality operators

Chapter I - Outline
History of Java

Why Java and How it Works?

First Program in Java: Printing a Line of Text Escape Sequences Displaying Text in a Dialog Box Another Java Application: Adding Integers Arithmetic Decision Making: Equality and Relational Operators

History of Java
Java is developed by James Gosling at Sun Microsystems and released in 1995 Java provides the capabilities for Object-Oriented

Programming (OOP)
C, C++ and Java are widely used in real life applications

Why Java?
Portable - Platform independent programming language

Pointer denial reduces chances of virulent programs

corrupting host Provides the capabilities of Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) Designed for network programming (i.e., sockets) Multi-threaded (i.e., multiple simultaneous tasks)
