Java is a popular programming language that is widely used in the development of applications, games, and other software. One of the basic operations in programming is the ability to add numbers. In this blog post, we will be discussing how to write a code to add numbers using Java.

Before we dive into the code, let’s first understand the basic concepts of programming in Java. In Java, a program is a set of instructions that tell the computer what to do. These instructions are written in a specific programming language, such as Java, and are called code.

Java uses a variety of data types to store different types of information. The most basic data types are int, double, and float. Int is used to store whole numbers, double is used to store decimal numbers, and float is used to store floating-point numbers. In this example, we will be using int to store our numbers.

The first step in writing code to add numbers in Java is to declare our variables. We will be using two variables, num1 and num2, to store our numbers. We will then use the addition operator (+) to add the two numbers together and store the result in a third variable, sum.

int num1 = 5;
int num2 = 10;
int sum = num1 + num2;

In the above code, we have declared three variables, num1, num2, and sum. We have assigned the value of 5 to num1 and the value of 10 to num2. We then use the addition operator (+) to add the two numbers together and store the result in the sum variable.

The next step is to print the result of the addition to the console. We can do this using the System.out.println() method. This method is used to print text or variables to the console.

System.out.println("The sum of " + num1 + " and " + num2 + " is " + sum);

In the above code, we are using the System.out.println() method to print the sum of the two numbers to the console. We are also using the concatenation operator (+) to combine the text and variables together in the output.

The final step is to test our code. We can do this by running the program in an IDE (Integrated Development Environment) such as Eclipse or IntelliJ IDEA. When the program runs, it will execute the instructions we have written and print the result of the addition to the console.

The sum of 5 and 10 is 15
