The processor of your computer should have something like 4 cores. Those 4 different cores are able to work parallel. So when you have a task that can be divided into smaller independent packages of work,

Now that you know about Exceptions and Errors the real programming can start. Java is an object orientated programming language. That means you can use and create objects of any kind. Objects in programming

Besides compiler errors which your learned about in my last post there are other 'errors' in java called exceptions. Exceptions are "thrown" every time your program tries do to something that

Like in most programming languages there is a compiler that translates your codes into something that can be executed by your computer. In some cases the compiler also optimizes your program and checks

The java syntax may seem hard for beginners, but it can be learned using some simple rules. In my last post you learned about lists which are sometimes useful in programming. There are a few that allow

Lists are a way of storing variables. Lists can behave similar to an array, but can vary in size. In my last posts you learned about arrays which are a foundation to the most common lists. Lists are themselves

Arrays are important constructs in programming, as they allow easy access and storage of multiple(ranging from 0 to whatever number your memory can handle) variables of the same type. In my last post you

Functions are not really necessary in programming, but they are a great way of making your code more readable for humans which is very important because you want to be able to understand your own code

I decided to make the one thing that is really missing here on steemit: programming contests! Don't be discouraged by the amount of text below. Most of them are just further explanations or minor things

In my last posts you learned what variables are and what simple operations you can do with them. In this post you will learn about the other important elements of programming which are important for any

In my last post you learned what variables are and how to define them. Today you will learn how to perform simple operations on them. I've ordered the operators in 4 different categories: logical,

In #1 I'm going to explain the basic knowledge you will need to start programming. This knowledge is usually language independent, but there may be some differences. I will only describe things that are

First of all some reasons why you should start programming now: Programming makes always a lot of fun although it can be sometimes a bit frustrating. It gives you a unique way of thinking and enhances
