Java

Java is the programming language used by the FTC SDK. Every OpMode, subsystem, and command you write is written in Java.

This section is not meant to be a complete Java course. Instead, it serves as a quick reference for the Java concepts you'll use most while programming FTC robots.

Throughout these lessons, you'll learn how to:

• Store information with variables
• Make decisions using conditionals
• Repeat code with loops
• Organize code into methods
• Store multiple values in collections
• Create your own classes
• Understand the basics of object-oriented programming
• Use enums to represent fixed sets of values

If you've never programmed before, work through the lessons in order. If you've already taken a Java class, feel free to jump to the topic you need.
