Introduction: Welcome! This tutorial page will teach you about the "Return" keyword in Java. What is a 'keyword'? A keyword is a word which already has a set/pre-defined action within Java. For example; public is a keyword which allows other classes to access the public variable or function/method. So, what does the "Return" do? Return is used to send a value back from a method or function to the place where it was called. The type of value to return depends on the type of method the return keyword is encased in.

Introduction: This page will teach you how to use the Do-While statements in Java. Important! It is fairly important you understand the While Statement before reading this tutorial page. It can be found on the main Java Tutorial Thread page. What is a Do-While Statement? A Do-While Statement is very similar to a While Statement, with one exception.

Introduction: Welcome! This page will talk about the difference between Java Applets and Java Applications. What is the difference between Java Applets and Java Applications? Both Java Applets and Java Applications are ran from the same Java source code, the only different is how it is ran.

Introduction: Welcome to a tutorial on the use of comments within Java. What are comments? Comments are just like the standard definition of comments anywhere in the world, they are used to explain something within the midst of the code. Comments are not read by Java and as such do not affect the program running. When are comments used? Comments are normally used to either make a note for the developer their self so they know where they need to go back to, or bookmark a specific location within a Java file.

Introduction: This page will show you how to use the While statement. What is the While statement? The While statement is used to run a block of code/script constantly until its conditions become false. When is a While statement used? A while statement is great for multi-tasking in programs, for example; while the character is moving in a game it should run a script to update the screen graphics/player co-ordinates or location. How to make a While statement: To make a While statement there are only two things you need to th

Introduction: Welcome to the Java tutorial on Multi-Dimensional Arrays. I would highly recommend you have a look at my Arrays page before reading through this one! What is a Multi-Dimensional Array? A Multi-Dimensional Array is an array which contains more than one index at any given placement. For example; instead of just having a value at the index "3", we could have "3""0", "3""1" etc. When are Multi-Dimensional Arrays Used? Compared to arrays there are not used as often.

Introduction: Hello and welcome to a tutorial on Object Oriented Programming, with code examples as opposed to theory. Ready the theory page Before starting this page make sure you have read and understand the theory page which can be found here. Instances The use of OOP is to have multiple instances of one class running at the same time, each with it's own variables and methods.

Introduction: Welcome! This page will be explaining Object Oriented Programming with examples. The examples are theory only but a code example will be released soon (if not already). What is Object Oriented Programming? Object Oriented Programming (OOP) is commonly used in programs which require doing the same things over and over again. Much like a function or method can be ran multiple times, OOP classes can be ran multiple times, simultaneously. When is OOP used? OOP is used in games and some other software.

Introduction: Hello. This page will teach you how to use JFrames within Java. What is a JFrame? A JFrame is a Java component which is able to hold or contain multiple more components. The JFrame is the 'window' of the program (the outer part which has the re-size options, the minimize, maximize and close options as well as the title of the program and icon). Should I use a JFrame in my program? You should only use a JFrame if you need a GUI/UI in your program.

Introduction: This tutorial will teach you how to use Imports in Java. What are imports? Imports are very important... see what I did there?... *sigh* Most programming languages, including Java, are very 'lazy' and will only get the information for classes it knows it will need or is directly referenced.
