Java Programming - Learning Journey

Welcome to my Java Programming repository! This repo contains the code I wrote while learning Java for the first time. It serves as a personal reference and may help others who are just starting out as well.

📚 Topics Covered

• Basic Syntax: Variables, Data Types, Operators, and Control Flow (if, for, while)
• Object-Oriented Programming (OOP): Classes, Objects, Inheritance, Polymorphism, Abstraction, and Encapsulation
• Exception Handling: Try-Catch blocks and custom exceptions
• Collections Framework: ArrayLists, HashMaps, LinkedLists, and more
• File Input/Output (I/O): Reading from and writing to files
• Basic Algorithms: Sorting, Searching, etc.

🧑‍💻 Usage

To run any of the Java programs in this repo:

1. Clone the repo:

   git clone https://github.com/schak04/java-learning-journey.git

2. Navigate into the project folder:

   cd java-learning-journey

3. Compile and run a program (example for HelloWorld.java):

   javac HelloWorld.java
   java HelloWorld

📝 Files

Each program is contained in a single .java file, named based on the task or concept it demonstrates. Files prefixed with CSE310_ were written by me during my university Java course (CSE310). The rest were written independently at home during self-practice.

🔄 Ongoing Progress

This repository is a work in progress. I will continue to add more code and examples as I explore new Java concepts, projects, and challenges. Stay tuned for more updates!
