编写一段文本作为源代码（Java）

Question

the task is:

"Write a complete Java program called Date whose output is the text that would be the source code of a Java program that prints "Introduction to Java Programming!" as its output."

Dont I only have to write a single statement with "System.out.println("Introduction to Java Programming!");" ?

Or they want something else from me?

Thank you for help!

Answer 1

Your task is, to write a program in Java that itself spits out Java code, that, when compiled would spit out that sentence.

something like

 main()
 {
    System.out.prinln("main () { System.out.println(\"....

I don't know who's assigning such homework, but that's the most useless stuff I ever heard and doesn't get you anywhere in learning Java...

Answer 2

You will need a surrounding class around your statement.

System.out.println("Introduction to Java Programming!");

And some specific method, starting with the character m , to make it work.

Answer 3

You may want to look into StringBuilder class to keep your sanity. But I wonder who assigns such stupid assignment. Pointless exercise, really.
