20,407 PointsIf you don't understand the concepts in this video, take heart! You are learning more every day. I would suggest viewing or re-viewing the Java basics course to get a stronger foundation before moving on to this course. After that, come back with specific questions and the community will help you sort through them.

5,225 PointsFirst of all, install the REPL accessible through the teacher's notes (It's gonna be your best friend for method learning). Think of a car. The car is the 'class'. The engine, wheels, etc are the 'methods' and the small parts of the engine are the code inside the 'method'. For example, an engine consists of many parts inside it, and that's how a method works. Take a piece of paper and draw squares one on top of each other with body different parts in them, where the car is the top, the 'class'. The 'main' method is what pretty much the ignition. Without it, the car won't start. It took me some time too but when I got it, everything fell into place. Once you understand that concept, the rest will come a little more natural.
