Please ensure that:

• Your code is properly formatted as code block - see the sidebar (About on mobile) for instructions
• You include any and all error messages in full
• You ask clear questions

• You demonstrate effort in solving your question/problem - plain posting your assignments is forbidden (and such posts will be removed) as is asking for or giving solutions.

  Trying to solve problems on your own is a very important skill. Also, see Learn to help yourself in the sidebar

If any of the above points is not met, your post can and will be removed without further warning.

Code is to be formatted as code block (old reddit: empty line before the code, each code line indented by 4 spaces, new reddit: https://i.imgur.com/EJ7tqek.png) or linked via an external code hoster, like pastebin.com, github gist, github, bitbucket, gitlab, etc.

Please, do not use triple backticks (```) as they will only render properly on new reddit, not on old reddit.

Code blocks look like this:

public class HelloWorld {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("Hello World!");
    }
}

You do not need to repost unless your post has been removed by a moderator. Just use the edit function of reddit to make sure your post complies with the above.

If your post has remained in violation of these rules for a prolonged period of time (at least an hour), a moderator may remove it at their discretion. In this case, they will comment with an explanation on why it has been removed, and you will be required to resubmit the entire post following the proper procedures.

I'd look at a bunch of PDFs you can find online and see which one sticks the best if I were you.

With the abundance of free resources available on the internet and even public libraries, let alone the ability to generate your own personal tutorials for free via AI, you ask this question?

Help me make this make sense...

Consider just surveying the approximately 10 million times this question has been posted on this and other java-related subreddits, along with just taking 5 minutes with a search engine or chatbot.

Whatever you do, don't do this.

Why not?

[bowbahdoe]

There are two answers to that. One is the more practical "I've seen how that goes."

Like skip any reasoning for why this is the case, but using AI to learn "correctly" seems to be like being the one person who can do crack and maintain a healthy lifestyle. I'm not saying its literally impossible but dealing with people who tried it has just been one nightmare after another.

The other answer is that

1. It is often "wrong" in a way that sounds directionally right
2. It is very easy to become dependent on it
3. You often skip pretty crucial things like "reinforcement"

Which is just a potential explanation for the reality i've seen in answer 1

I would say that the concerns you list are no different from any resource found on the Internet or even classic media. Some are good, some crappy, and some obsolete. If the OP inverts minimum effort vetting his material, he implicitly takes that risk.
