Problem

In order to practice writing, compiling, and running Java, you decide to create a Java application that displays your name and address on the screen. Perform the following steps.

1. Start Text Pad. Save the file on the Data Disk with your first name as the file name. Make sure you choose Java (*.java) in the Save as type box. Click the Save in box arrow to save the file on drive A in the folder named Chapter02.

2. Type the block comments to include your name, the date, the program's name, the course number, and the program's purpose. Press the TAB key as needed to align the comments. Remember to use /* to begin the block comment and */ to end it.

3. Type the class header. Use your first name as the name of the class. Do not forget to enter the keywords, public and class, before your name. On the next line, type an opening brace.

4. Type the main() method header, using the keywords public, static, and void. The main() method takes a String[] parameter named args. As you type, remember that Java is case-sensitive. On the next line, type an opening brace.

5. Type three lines that begin System.out.println(" and then include your name, address and city each on a separate line. Do not forget to close the quotation mark and parentheses. Place a semicolon at the end of each line.

6. Type a closing brace for the main () method.

7. Type a closing brace for the class.

8. Compile the program by clicking Compile Java on the Text Pad Tools menu. If necessary, fix any errors in the coding window and then compile the program again.

9. Once the program compiles correctly, run the program by clicking Run Java Application on the Text Pad Tools menu. After viewing your output, click the Close button in the command prompt window title bar.

10. In the Text Pad window, use the Print command on the File menu to print a copy of the source code.

11. Close the Text Pad window.
