(+) Yeah! (+)

Im taking a CS course for the first time, and the language were learning is Java. What are some things you can do with Java?

I learn better when I apply what Im learning to real life scenarios, so I want an idea on a type of personal project or something else thats simple I can start on my own

Sorry if this is a dumb question lol. Google was giving me vague answers

As a beginner, use JOptionPane to display stuff - import javax.swing.JOptionPane; and then something like

String str = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, "What is your name", "Question", JOptionPane.QUESTION_MESSAGE);

JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Hi " + str + "!", "Message", JOptionPane.PLAIN_MESSAGE);

It is way more visual and interactive than using the console.

You can make Web Applications using the Springboot Framework and you can make Android Applications last I checked

Google may have updated and moved on to a new framework though. I last used Java and Android SDK around 2017

Literally anything

What are you trying to make? Web applications? Games? Android apps?
