language for Android development). Both languages are used for building Android apps, but Kotlin is now
the recommended language by Google.

Topics to Cover (Java/Kotlin Basics):

● Setting up Java/Kotlin environment


● Basic Syntax (variables, data types, control flow)
● Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) concepts (classes, objects, inheritance, polymorphism)
● Collections (arrays, lists, maps)
● Functions and Lambda expressions (in Kotlin)
● Exception handling
● Basic file handling
