Simple Java Print Statement

Introduction

In this challenge, you'll practice using the System.out.println statement in Java. This is a fundamental skill in Java programming that allows you to output text to the console. You'll modify a simple program to print a greeting message, then compile and run it.

Create a Simple Greeting Program

Now that you've learned about the basic structure of a Java program and how to use System.out.println, let's put that knowledge into practice.

Tasks

• Modify the existing SimpleGreeting.java file to print a greeting message to the console.
• Compile the Java program using the appropriate command.
• Run the compiled program using the appropriate command.

Requirements

• Open the SimpleGreeting.java file located in the ~/project directory.
• Use the System.out.println statement to print the greeting message "Hello, Java Programmer!".
• Compile your program using the Java compiler in the terminal.
• Run your program using the Java runtime in the terminal.
• Ensure all work is done in the ~/project directory.

Example

Expected output after running the program:

Hello, Java Programmer!

Summary

In this challenge, we focused on using the System.out.println statement in Java, building upon the basic concepts introduced in the lab. We modified a simple program to print a greeting message to the console, and then compiled and ran it. This challenge demonstrates the practical application of the print statement, which is a fundamental part of Java programming, and reinforces the compilation and execution process for Java programs.
