public class HelloWorld

public static void main(String[] args)

[Link]("Hello, World!");

1. Class Declaration

public class HelloWorld

 class: Keyword to define a class (the basic building block of Java


programs).

 HelloWorld: The name of the class (must match the filename →


[Link]).

 public: Access modifier meaning this class can be accessed from


anywhere.

👉 In Java, everything must be inside a class.

2. Curly Braces { }

// code inside

 Curly braces define a block of code.

 The opening { starts the block, and the closing } ends it.

 Every class and every method must have its own block.

3. Main Method

public static void main(String[] args)


 This is the entry point of every Java program.

 The program always starts execution here.

 Breaking it down:

o public → accessible everywhere.

o static → runs without creating an object.

o void → returns nothing.

o main → the special method name where execution begins.

o (String[] args) → allows input from command line (not always


used by beginners).

4. Statements

[Link]("Hello, World!");

 [Link] → Prints text to the screen and moves to a new


line.

 ; → Every Java statement must end with a semicolon.
