Java

Java is a popular and versatile programming language that is used to create a wide range of applications, from mobile apps to enterprise-level software systems. Our robot is programmed in 100% Java, so you'll need to become even more familiar with the language.

Setting Up Your Environment

Before you can start coding in Java, you'll need to set up your development environment. Here are the basic steps:

  1. Download and install the Java Development Kit (JDK) from the official website.
  2. Download and install an Integrated Development Environment (IDE), for programming the bot, we use Visual Studio Code.

Hello World

The "Hello World" program is a classic example used to introduce beginners to programming languages. Create a new file in Vscode named Main.java and then paste this program into the file.

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("Hello, World!");
    }
}

Run the program by clicking the the play button on the top right of your screen, it should output "Hello, World!" to the console. Try it!
