Hello,
I'm new to computers and programming, and I've decided to start with Java.
I'm done with syntax (easy enough) and am now just learning about certain special packages like io, lang, etc.
However, I'm beginning to think that I made a mistake with starting with Java.
I don't really understand how to interact with the machine; all I do is use predefined methods to do my dirty work for me.
So, I'm wondering if I can see the code that the developers used to build the predefined elements of the language.
For example, for a simple method call like System.out.print("string goes here"); how did the developers tell the computer to print that string to the command window?
What does that code really look like?
Thanks.
