Wrapping Up Java Syntax

Congratulations! You have mastered the very basics of Java, one of the most widely used and reliable languages in the world.

Java has a lot of strict rules, but that is why it is stable and powerful.

Which door should you open next?

1. “Build small tools”

• A program that organizes input like a spreadsheet
• A simple console game (rock-paper-scissors, etc.)
• A grade management program

2. Learn Data Structures next

• Recommended: Data Structures
• Why: Java’s collections become much more powerful when you understand stacks, queues, trees, and graphs.

After learning Java, other languages feel easier: “Oh, this is simpler than Java,” or “Oh, this is that Java concept again.”
