MA-JAVA0

Java programming — foundations

Intro path aligned with a typical first Java module: getting started, booleans and branching, arrays and loops, strings and StringBuilder, classes, enums, then arrays of objects and null — with further sessions on collections, I/O, inheritance, lambdas, and concurrency

Self-study sessions that mirror a standard intro Java syllabus: getting started / JVM, types and boolean expressions, branching, user input, and loops, arrays and iteration (sums, averages, countdown-style filters), strings and StringBuilder (charAt, substring, indexOf, equals, building text), classes and objects, enum types, then arrays of objects and null, before continuing into collections, exceptions, I/O, inheritance, generics, lambdas, and concurrency (threads, races, wait/notify, executors). Worked examples include patterns similar to tutorial drills on loop ranges, string accumulation, even/odd countdown, and rainfall-style totals.
