? Generating JavaDoc

? Quick Overview

JavaDoc is a documentation generator tool provided by Java. It automatically creates professional HTML documentation from specially formatted comments written in Java source code.

? Key Concepts

• JavaDoc comments start with /** and end with */
• Used for classes, methods, constructors, and fields
• Generates readable API documentation
• Uses tags like @param, @return, @author

? Syntax / Theory

JavaDoc comments are placed directly above the element they describe. These comments are then processed by the javadoc command-line tool to generate HTML files.

? Code Example

/**
 * This class demonstrates JavaDoc usage
 * @author Admin
 */
public class Sample {

/**
 * Adds two numbers
 * @param a first number
 * @param b second number
 * @return sum of a and b
 */
public int add(int a, int b) {
return a + b;
}
}
