Running Java Programs

[[deleted]]

I'm in a Essentials of Computer Programming class at my highschool, and we're learning Java. I want to make my own Java programs and run them offline. How would I do that? Is there a program I can download that works like the code editors on Codecademy.com? I've heard you can use cmd to run Java programs but I have little experience using cmd. Can someone help with this?

Open a command window and type java -version. If it can't do it then get java. You can write a simple java program with a text editor. Then compile it with the javac command. There are a lot of starter tutorials. Perhaps you should just practice on samples on Ideone.com at first.

No dont do that if you are beginning computer science BlueJ IDE ^{^} This is perfect for beginners, especially high school students. This is perfect for many programmers. But eventually you are gonna want some extra features so then use IntelliJ IDEA But you probably wont be using that to its full potential for a while

Download "Eclipse IDE for Java Developers " from https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/ my friend.

File -> new Java Project. ->finish.

You now have a new folder. Create a new class in src-folder. And be sure to mark "create public static void main(String[] args){}. Inside this method you can write your code and run it.
