After a whole week of basic java programming, I'm already starting to see some of the major differences from python. First of all, there seems to be more versatility granted through methods that can return a data type versus methods that don't return anything at all. My teacher says this has to do with java being and 'object-oriented' language, whatever that means. I'll find out soon enough, for better or worse. One thing that I am curious about, however, revolves around the fact that java, along with some other languages, cannot quite accurately use operations like multiplication and division. I don't know how it all goes down in the craziness that is java, but I wonder how an OS itself can have a perfectly functioning calculator application when it is derived machine language. That would be a tough one to figure out, but hopefully I'll get an answer in my lifetime.
