Implementing a Java Program
Implementation of a Java application program involves a series of steps. They
include:
1. Creating the program
2. Compiling the program
3. Running the program
Creating the Program:
We can create a program using any text editor like notepad. The program name
should be saved with the extension “.java”.
Example: assumed that the program name is “Test.java”
class Test
{
public static void main(String as[])
{
System.out.println(“Hello java”);
}
}
Compiling the program:
Java program involves two steps for its execution: one compilation and the other
execution. We use “javac” tool to compile java program. It gives byte code file
whose extension is “.class”. This is an intermediate file and not directly executable.
To Compile the program first Open Command Prompt and type the command
Syntax: D:\Second BSC\javac filename
D:\Second BSC\javac Test.java
Note:-
Once you installed Java on your machine, it is required to Set the PATH
environment variable to conveniently run the executable (javac.exe, java.exe,
javadoc.exe, and so on) from any directory
Path :-.Path is an environment variable which is used by the operating system to
find the executables. When you try to execute a program from command line, the
operating system searches for the specified program in the current directly, if
available, executes it. In case the programs are not available in the current
directory, operating system verifies in the set of directories specified in the „PATH
‟ environment variable.
We can set path permanently and temporarily.
To set the path follow the command
D:\second Bsc\set path=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_162\bin;
Classpath:-
Classpath is system environment variable used by the Java compiler and JVM.
Java compiler and JVM is used Class path to determine the location of
required library files(packages and classes) class files..
JVM verifies the current directory for them, if not available it verifies the set of
directories specified in the „CLASSPATH‟ environment variable.
To set the classpath follow the command.By using class path javacompiler and
jvm locates classfiles.
D:\Second Bsc\set classpath=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_162\jre\lib\rt.jar;
Running the Program:
Java program is interpreted by “java” which as an interpreter.This is
different for different machines.
This generates executable code for the machine and views the output of the
java program.
The complete steps to run a java program are listed below:
1. Type the program in the DOS editor or notepad. Save the file with a .java
extension.
2. The file name should be the same (advisably) as the class, which has the
main method.
3. To compile the program, using javac compiler, type the following on the
command line:
Example: javac abc.java
4. After compilation, run the program using the Java interpreter.
Syntax: java (without the .java extension)
Example: java abc
5. The program output will be displayed on the command line
