CSE NoticeBard presents the list of the Top 7 Java Cheatsheet Resources for Beginners. Check the most commonly used Java features and APIs below!

A Java cheat sheet is a concise and quick reference guide that provides essential information, syntax, and examples related to Java programming. This is one of the necessary resources for programmers of all levels to efficiently refresh their knowledge of Java concepts without needing extensive documentation.

// Basic Structure public class MyClass { public static void main(String[] args) { // Your code here } }

// Variables and Data Types int myInt = 10; double myDouble = 3.14; char myChar = 'A'; String myString = "Hello"; boolean myBool = true;

// Control Structures if (condition) { // Code to execute if condition is true } else if (anotherCondition) { // Code to execute if anotherCondition is true } else { // Code to execute if none of the conditions are true }

for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) { // Code to repeat in each iteration }

while (condition) { // Code to execute while condition is true }

// Arrays int[] intArray = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}; String[] stringArray = new String[3];

// Functions (Methods) public returnType methodName(parameterType parameter) { // Method body return returnValue; }

// Object-Oriented Programming class MyClass { private int myField; // Field or instance variable

public MyClass(int value) {  // Constructor
    myField = value;
}

public void myMethod() {  // Method
    // Code here
}

public int getMyField() {  // Getter method
    return myField;
}

}

// Inheritance class ChildClass extends ParentClass { // Additional fields and methods }

// Exception Handling try { // Code that might throw an exception } catch (ExceptionType e) { // Code to handle the exception } finally { // Code that executes regardless of whether an exception occurred }

// Input/Output import java.util.Scanner;

Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in); int userInput = scanner.nextInt(); System.out.println("User input: " + userInput);

// Libraries import java.util.ArrayList; import java.util.HashMap;

ArrayList list = new ArrayList<>(); HashMap map = new HashMap<>();

// Basic Input/Output System.out.print("This is a message without a line break"); System.out.println("This is a message with a line break");

// Comments // This is a single-line comment

/* This is a multi-line comment */

Numerous tutorials are available in the public domain for novices to learn JAVA from scratch. However, if you are looking for authentic domains, check the links below directly from Java officials. Here we go,

Operator Type	Operators
Arithmetic operators	*+,-,/,,%**
Relational operators	<, >, <=, >=,==, !=
Logical operators	&& , \|\|
Assignment operator	=, +=, −=, ×=, ÷=, %=, &=, ^=, \|=, <<=, >>=, >>>=
Increment and Decrement operator	++ , – –
Special operators	. (dot operator to access methods of class)
Bitwise operators	^, &, \|
Conditional operators	?:

Keyword	Function
abstract	The `abstract` keyword may modify a class or a method
boolean	The `abstract` a keyword may modify a class or a method
break	The `break keyword` is used to prematurely exit a for, while, or do a loop or to mark the end of a case block in a switch statement.
byte	The `byte` is a primitive type. This keyword is used to declare a variable that can hold 8-bit data values.
case	The `case` is used to label each branch in a switch statement.
catch	The `boolean keyword` is used to declare a variable as a boolean type. It can hold True and false values only.
char	The `continue` the keyword is used to skip to the next iteration of a for, while, or do loop.
class	The `class` keyword is used to declare a new Java class, which is a collection of related variables and/or methods.
continue	The `default` the keyword is used to label the default branch in a switch statement.
default	The `catch` the keyword is used to define exception-handling blocks in try−catch or try−catch−finally statements.
do	The `do` keyword specifies a loop whose condition is checked at the end of each iteration
double	The `double` keyword is used to declare a variable that can hold 64-bit floating-point number. double is a Java primitive type.
else	The `else` keyword is always used in association with the if keyword in an if−else statement. The else clause is optional and is executed if the if condition is false
extends	The `extends` keyword is used in a class or interface declaration to indicate that the class or interface being declared is a subclass of the class or interface whose name follows the extends keyword.
false	The `false` keyword represents one of the two legal values for a boolean variable.
final	The `final` keyword may be applied to a class, indicating the class may not be extended (subclassed). The final keyword may be applied to a method, indicating the method may not be overridden in any subclass.
finally	The `finally` keyword is used to define a block that is always executed in a try−catch−finally statement. A ‘*finally’* block typically contains cleanup code that recovers from the partial execution of a try block.
float	The `float` keyword is used to declare a variable that can hold a 32-bit floating-point number; float is a Java primitive type.
for	The `for` keyword specifies a loop whose condition is checked before each iteration.
if	The `if` keyword indicates the conditional execution of a block. The condition must evaluate to a boolean value. It executes the if block if the condition is true.
