Java Program Introduction

Here is an example Java program that prints a simple representation of a pipe using the ASCII characters:

public class App {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("|");
        System.out.println("|");
        System.out.println("|");
        System.out.println("___|");
    }
}

This program demonstrates the use of the System.out.println() method in Java to print text to the console. The program prints three vertical lines and an underscore with a vertical line, representing a pipe.

To execute this Java program, save the code in a file called App.java, and then compile and run it using the following commands:

javac App.java
java App

Upon execution, the program will output the following:

|
|
|
___|

The public class App line declares a class named App, which serves as the container for the program code. The main method is the entry point of the program.

In the main method, each System.out.println() statement prints a line of output to the console. The text within the double quotes represents the content to be printed.

You can modify this program by adding or removing lines to adjust the number of vertical lines or change the shape of the output. Experiment with different ASCII characters to create various patterns or designs.

Remember to compile and run the program again after making changes to see the updated output.

We hope this example helps you understand how to print characters to the console using Java. Feel free to explore more about Java programming to further enhance your skills.
