Java-Task1 — Introductory Java Exercises

This repository contains three beginner-friendly Java exercises built around the following topics:

1. Introduction to Java + Installing Java JDK and IntelliJ IDEA for Java
2. Basic Structure of a Java Program: Understanding our First Java Hello World Program
3. Variables and Data Types in Java Programming
4. Literals in Java
5. Getting User Input in Java
6. Operators, Types of Operators & Expressions in Java
7. Associativity of Operators in Java
8. Data Type of Expressions & Increment/Decrement Operators

Work to Complete

• q1: A fill-in-the-blanks exercise focusing on basic program structure, variables, data types, and simple output.
• q2: A complete program exercise that practices user input, operators, expressions, and basic calculations.
• q3: A program demonstrating literals, increment/decrement operators, data type conversions, and operator associativity.

Each question lives in its own folder (q1/, q2/, q3/) and contains:

• qX.java — the source file (either a template with "// FILL HERE" comments or a blank starter file).
• README.md — clear instructions, expected input/output, and what to fill/implement.

How to Compile & Run (Windows)

Using Command Prompt or PowerShell:

# compile
javac q1/q1.java
javac q2/q2.java
javac q3/q3.java

# run
java -cp q1 q1
java -cp q2 q2
java -cp q3 q3

Alternative method (from each question's directory):

# For q1
cd q1
javac q1.java
java q1

# For q2
cd q2
javac q2.java
java q2

# For q3
cd q3
javac q3.java
java q3

What to Submit

• Edit the q1/q1.java, q2/q2.java, and q3/q3.java files to implement the solutions requested in their READMEs.
• Commit and push your changes to YOUR FORKED REPOSITORY.

Grading Hints

• Correctness: Output must match the expected sample output in each question's README.
• Readability: Use meaningful variable names and proper Java naming conventions.
• Demonstration of concepts: Show that you understand:
  • Basic Java program structure
  • Variables and data types
  • Literals and their usage
  • User input with Scanner
  • Operators and expressions
  • Increment/decrement operations
  • Data type conversions

Prerequisites

• Java JDK 8 or higher installed
• Basic understanding of command line/terminal usage
• Text editor (VSCode Recommended) or IDE (IntelliJ IDEA recommended)

Proceed to the q1/, q2/, and q3/ folders and complete the exercises in order.
