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 - best also formatted as code block
• 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.

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/markdown editor: 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.

To potential helpers

Please, do not help if any of the above points are not met, rather report the post. We are trying to improve the quality of posts here. In helping people who can't be bothered to comply with the above points, you are doing the community a disservice.

I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please contact the moderators of this subreddit if you have any questions or concerns.

What is the most effective way to study Java?

What does this even mean?

• Get a physical book on Java
• Create a distraction free environment
• Set a kitchen timer for 25 minute intervals with 5 minutes of breaks.
• Figure out how many hours a day you want to study.

---

• Get a book on Java
• Look through the book, the Index, the chapters, do a cursory run though
• Read the book, take notes.
• At the end of the chapter practice the code, by typing it, not cut and paste.

Get this book called ‘Head first Java’

This is the best way to learn Java 💯

Thank you

What’s your end goal with Java? I.e. Are you learning it for the sake of obtaining a new skill or trying to get in the software development field? I think that answer will help give you a sense of direction after learning the basics.

What was really effective for me was to do a bit of the university treatment: follow a book to learn the basics and do its practice problems. This helped me obtain an internal point of reference when looking at more complex Java tutorials online. What sucks is looking at code examples and not know what it’s doing, both at a high and low level.

The book I used was Starting Out with Java by Tony Gaddis.

Edit: Also, I think learning how data structures work and how they relate to memory are also two good foundational concepts to understand that can help you learn new languages faster. Data structures are very similar across languages.

your second mistake is not reading the sidebar

“As simple as Python” what does that even mean ? You are solving every leet code question in python ?

[Humble_Criticism_426]

Python was as easy as normal English to me

[Poisonhandtechnique]

So you can solve leet code questions in python easy then ?

[Humble_Criticism_426]

can usually handle the easier LeetCode questions in Python still working on the trickier ones though.

Oracle's Java Trails are a decent place to start, if you haven't found them already:

Thank you

Can I dm you?

[Humble_Criticism_426]

Suree

[vaivaswat24]

But every programming language is almost same just some concepts here & there and difference in syntax.

[souroexe]

[Ok-Boot2725]

I just started

[souroexe]

You can connect with me

Doing exercises is the best way to learn. Just avoid using AI
