variables and methods, as well as specifying the interfaces the class

implements and the immediate superclass of the class. A class name

always starts with a capital letter.


Comments - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔Explanatory text that is ignored by the

compiler. In programs written in the Java programming language,

comments are delimited using // or /* ...*/

, Compiler - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔A program to translate source code into code to

be executed by a computer. The Java compiler translates source code

written in the Java programming language into bytecode for the Java virtual

machine.


Concatenation - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔The actual meaning is 'to link together'.

Concatenating Strings means to join different Strings together to form a

new String. Using an empty String, denoted by "", will convert a number to

a String so it can be displayed. The symbol used to join Strings is the +

sign.


Constructor - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔A piece of code that creates an object. In the

Java programming language, constructors have the same name as their

class and also start with a capital letter. Constructors are invoked using the

new keyword. There can be more than one constructor to a class.


double - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔a data type used to denote a number with a

decimal place e.g 2.15


field - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔A data member of a class. Also known as an instance

variable. They are always declared private.
