Following programs are worth practicing for absolute beginners. As someone starts the programming, these programs help to make hands on the syntax of the language as well as work towards improving their logic and problem-solving abilities.

Basic Input Output

Write a program(WAP) to print “Hello World”.
WAP to take user input such as name or any number and display it again on the screen.
WAP to find the sum, difference, product, ratio, the remainder of two numbers with integers.
WAP to find the sum, difference, product, ratio, the remainder of two numbers with decimal numbers.
WAP to take user input and find the area of a rectangle.
WAP to take user input and find the area of a triangle.

WAP to take user input for cm(centimeter) and convert it to mm(millimeter).
WAP to take user input for angles in degrees and convert it to radians. Formulae is provided below. Either take value for PI as 22/7 or use Math.PI available in Math package in JAVA for example.
My electricity bills for the last three months have been $23, $32 and $64. What is the average monthly electricity bill over the three month period? Write an expression to calculate the mean and display respective result.

radians = degrees * PI/180

WAP to take user input for a year and find whether it is a leap year or not.
WAP to take user input for a number and find whether it is prime or not.
WAP to take user input for a number and find whether it is perfect or not.
WAP to take user input for a number and find whether it is divisible by 5 or not.
WAP to take user input and find whether it is an alphabet or not.
WAP to take user input and find whether it is an alphanumeric or not.
