I. Before you read:
Part 1.
Look at the chart below. Match the word with its correct meaning. You can try using an
engine to search for the definition. For example: “shell window definition”

Word # Meaning
1. shell window Verb. Try
2. compile Phrase. "The reason for the name"
3. plain text Adjective. Probably.
4. likely Noun. Error
5. “sound odd” Adjective. Difficult to satisfy
6. mistake Phrase. Computer program that
presents a command line interface
7. curly braces Noun. text or symbols used to
represent the system is ready to
perform the next command
8. “break it down” Phrase. text that is not specially
formatted or written in code
9. picky Phrase. Be strange or unusual
10. “hence the Verb. Convert (a program) into a
name” machine-code or lower-level form so
the program can be executed.
11.console program Phrase. Marks { or } that are used as a
pair around words
12. prompt Phrase. To explain something in steps
13. attempt Phrase. A program designed to be used
with a text-only computer interface
Part 2.
Predicting:
Order the following steps on how to create a Basic Java program.

Step #
Change the Directory
Compile the Program
Open a Terminal Window
Run the Program
Save the File
Set the path to the Compile Program
Write the Java Source Code

Now skim the text and check your answers.

II. While you read:

Read the text again and write T (true) F (false) to the following ideas.

1. The lines with "//" are comments in Java, and the compiler ignores them.
2. A code does not need to be in a class for the Java runtime engine to run it.
3. Public means that this method is not available to anyone.
4. Static means that the method can be run without creating an instance of the
class HelloWorld.
5. A “Void” method does not return anything.
6. When you save your program file as "HelloWorld.java", you give the instruction
to call the class "HelloWorld"
7. The HelloWorld program is an example of a windowed application. It runs in its
own window.
8. Compiling a program is to and translate it into a language your computer can
understand.
9. “HelloWorld.class” is the compiled version of your program.
III. After you read:
Now try summarizing the steps to create a HelloWorld.java program using this flow chart.
