Java for Fucking Idiots: Learn the Basics of Java Programming Without any experience!

class
Cat {
String
name
;
Cat(String name) {
this
.
name
= name;
}
void
meow() {
System.
out
.println(
"Meow!"
);
}
}
name
is a property.
meow()
is a method.
Why do Cats meow? In real life, who fucking knows. In Java, it’s when we
call the appropriate method on the Cat object.
Cat jasper =
new
Cat(
"Jasper"
);
jasper.meow();
What did we just do? Well first we instantiated a new Cat, which I covered
in the last chapter, you plumbus.
But after that we used a method called 
meow
. It printed out “Meow!” to the
screen.

We could call what we just did a a whole variety of things. Invoking the
method. Calling the method. Running the method. Executing the method.
“Doing the needful.”
By and large, I see and use the word calling . We called the meow()
method. When the meow() method was called, the cat meowed.

Wew lad, a new class! This one is responsible for translating text between
two different languages. I’ll hide the code that would actually do the
translating. But it’s great, I assure you.
Let’s create a new translator. I’ll call him Eugene.
