Every Java program has at least one class, and execution starts in the main method:
public static void main(String[] args)
Statements end with a semicolon ;.
Code blocks use curly braces { }.
Java is case-sensitive: Main and main are different.
System.out.println() prints a line; System.out.print() prints without a new line.
