## Comments

You can use multi-line comments or single line comments to note about a piece of code. This helps you so that you don't forget what was happening in the code

    /* Multi Line Comment
    I am multiple lines woo!
    */

    System.out.println("Hello"); // I am an inline comment

### Javadocs

This is a standardized method in Java to describe your functions and classes

    /**
     * This is a Javadoc comment. A description of your class should appear here
     * @author Brandon
     * @version 2018
     */
    public class Example{
      /** Another Javadoc comment.
       * A description of your program should go here
       */
      public static void main(String[] args) {

      }
    }

## Variables

Convention in Java is for all of your functions/method names to be lowercase.

Class names should be title cased, each word is capitalized ex: `IntroExample`

## Java API

The Java API is publicly accessible and is extremely useful for finding methods in existing classes.

The API documentation for the `String` class is located here: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/index.html?java/lang/String.html
