? Java Tokens

? Quick Overview

Java tokens are the smallest individual units in a Java program. The Java compiler breaks source code into tokens to understand the structure and meaning of the program.

? Key Concepts

• Tokens are the building blocks of Java programs
• Every valid Java program is a sequence of tokens
• Whitespace and comments separate tokens
• Tokens follow strict Java syntax rules

? Syntax / Theory

Java tokens are classified into five main categories:

• Keywords – Reserved words with predefined meaning
• Identifiers – Names of variables, classes, methods
• Literals – Constant values used in code
• Operators – Symbols performing operations
• Separators – Special characters that separate code

// Example showing different Java tokens
int number = 10;
String name = "Java";
if(number > 5){
System.out.println(name);
}
