Java Programming for Beginners

By: SkillSprints Inc., Mark Lassoff

Overview of this book

Java is an object-oriented programming language, and is one of the most widely accepted languages because of its design and programming features, particularly in its promise that you can write a program once and run it anywhere. Java Programming for Beginners is an excellent introduction to the world of Java programming, taking you through the basics of Java syntax and the complexities of object-oriented programming. You'll gain a full understanding of Java SE programming and will be able to write Java programs with graphical user interfaces that run on PC, Mac, or Linux machines. This book is full of informative and entertaining content, challenging exercises, and dozens of code examples you can run and learn from. By reading this book, you’ll move from understanding the data types in Java, through loops and conditionals, and on to functions, classes, and file handling. The book finishes with a look at GUI development and training on how to work with XML. The book takes an efficient route through the Java landscape, covering all of the core topics that a Java developer needs. Whether you’re an absolute beginner to programming, or a seasoned programmer approaching an object-oriented language for the first time, Java Programming for Beginners delivers the focused training you need to become a Java developer.

Writing data to files

This will be an exciting chapter. First we'll take a look at how to write to files using Java. To do this, we'll declare a mathematical sequence for the first 50 numbers of the mathematical sequence in which each number will be the sum of the previous two numbers. When we run the following program we will see these 50 numbers printed out to our System.out stream, and we will be able to view them in our console window:

package writingtofiles; 
 
public class WritingToFiles { 
    public static void main(String[] args) { 
        for(long number : FibonacciNumbers()) 
        { 
            System.out.println(number); 
        } 
    } 
     
    private static long[] FibonacciNumbers() 
    { 
        long[] fibNumbers = new long[50]; 
        fibNumbers[0] = 0; 
        fibNumbers[1] = 1; 
        for(int i = 2; i < 50; i++) 
        { 
    ...
