Why not teach the definitions of objects and methods first in java?

Answer 1

You can learn that way but understanding basic syntax and primitives(and Strings) is the norm at the beginning and they lead to less confusion if you just accept that you will figure out how methods and objects work later

Answer 2

@Eric True, they are crucial but once you learn a definition like "an object is an instance(creation) of the class" you will probably want an example and deeper explanation, but that is a much more comprehensive task if you get used to and understand the basic syntax and primitives (and Strings) first

Answer 3

ok. It was like back in the days when I was learning how to do visual basic. we were not shown the definition of objects and methods which I found was crucial
