If you are not familiar with the Java® programming language, read this section to quickly get up to speed with its syntax. When creating applications, it is useful to know the basics of Java such as how to use the if, for, and while control statements. The more advanced aspects of Java will not be covered in this book. For more detail, see any dedicated book on Java programming or one of the many online resources. You can also learn a lot by reviewing the methods in the example applications available in the Application Libraries. Note that the Method Editor supports Java 11 syntax.
