How does Java run?
To run a Java program, you can follow these steps:
- Install the Java Development Kit (JDK) on your computer to be able to compile and run Java programs.
- Write a Java program: Write a Java program using any text editor, saving the file with a .java extension.
- Compile a Java program by opening the command prompt or terminal window, navigating to the directory where the Java program is saved, and using the following command.
- Compile YourProgramName.java with javac.
- Run Java program: After successful compilation, continue to execute the Java program by running the following command in the command prompt or terminal window.
- Run your program with the command “java YourProgramName.”
Before running the Java program, make sure it contains a public static void main(String[] args) method as the starting point of the program.
