I want to preface this by saying if you are just beginning to learn about programming it isn't important to know about imperative programming for right now.

Does that means that there is a class that it has one method that do lots of works?

It means it has statements which tell it step by step how to do the task you want it to do.

Imperative programming refers to the "type" (paradigm) of the language. In this context, imperative means we write programming statements for "how" to do it. For example, I want to calculate the total cost for buying things at the store. How do i do that? We'll 1st step is to do this, 2nd step is to do that, then etc...

public static void main(String args[]){
  // 1st step is to calculate total price of all items.
  // 2nd step is to multiple by sales tax percentage.
  // 3rd step is to add sales tax to subtotal.
  // 4th step is the return total.
}

Java is imperative, but it is also object-oriented, but it is also functional. In more advanced lessons you might learn about how Java also has other functional (paradigms) by using "lambdas".

Examples of other programming "types" (paradigms): Haskell is functional Ruby is partly functional Python is partly functional Javascript is partly functional
