    What if that calculator knew your name? What if it carried on a conversation with you, and asked you questions? You’d probably remember it a little better! Maybe even make a point of using it whenever you needed to crack an equation!

    But you know what? You could build your own one-of-a-kind calculator.

    All you need is Java.

    Java is a very powerful, yet easy to learn language. It’s absolutely FREE and it’s EVERYWHERE - on your phone, on your computer, and on many other devices all around you every day, and in “Java Programming for Kids: Learn Java Step By Step and Build Your Own Interactive Calculator for Fun!” bestselling author R.

    Introduction

    Are you ready to learn Java programming? Java is a very powerful language that at the same time was made to be very easy to learn. There are many reasons why Java is so great. It is an absolutely FREE language. It is platform independent, which you will understand in a couple of minutes. Most importantly, Java is everywhere, on your phone, on your computer, and on many other devices that are around you every day.

    The learning becomes complete only when we are able to apply what we have learned. In the case of programming, your learning becomes a success when you make an application out of your knowledge.

    You might have used the calculator application available on your computer at least once. What about creating a calculator on your own? You are going to develop a cool calculator that will not only do basic mathematical calculations, but also ask you questions and interact with you based on your answers. So, you can use the calculator you design to help you in math and also to have some fun.

    By the end of this tutorial, you will;

    understand how a Java program is processed.

    set up the basic Java development environment and start developing applications.

    learn how to set the PATH variable to make the program execution faster.

    understand what variables are and how to use them.

    learn to do math using Java.

    understand how to use conditional statements to decide the flow of execution.

    understand how to make your programs reusable and structured with the help of methods.

    learn how to collect inputs from the user.

    create a number of Java programs.

    develop a cool Talking Calculator.

    It’s alright if you don’t understand all of what was said right away, that’s what this book is about! So, let’s get started...

    Java Program Processing

    In this section, I am going to explain to you simply how a Java program is processed. We said that Java is platform independent. What does that mean? It means that the same Java program can run on many platforms, like Windows, OSx, and Linux, without changing even a single line of code, while other programming languages can only be used on certain platforms. For example C++ is run on the Xbox and Windows, primarily. The fact that Java can run on many platforms its power. How is it possible?

    Before explaining the answer to the above question, let me ask you a few questions. Do you like pepperoni pizza?
