1 First program - “hello world”

Start DrJava (or similar) and write the following Java program.
public class Lab1 {

public static void main ( String [] args ) {

System . out . println ( ‘ ‘ Hola Mundo ’ ’);

}
}

Save the code and check that a file called Lab1.java has been created in your
computer. Compile and check that a file Lab.class has been created in your
compiter. Finally, execute the code and see the result on the screen.

3 Second program - print a triangle
Create a new class called Figures and, in the main, write the following code.

System.out.println(‘‘triangle’’);
