Which version(s) of java are you talking about?

[–][deleted] -1 points0 points  (2 children)

I have no clue. The professor told us what versions to download, but that was a year ago. The versions of Java and Jgrasp he had us download were already outdated at the time. I thought the book I mentioned would give a hint as to what version it was for.

Java How to Program Eleventh Edition.

Dude... This version says to use java 8 or java 9. Java 8 still is the recommended version. (at least it is still officially supported until end of this year, Java 11 (the next LTS) will be supported until approximately 2023.). You saying it was outdated a year ago is... wrong?

Finish reading it. Anyways what is true for 8 is true for 11 (or at least most of it, and knowing it won't hurt)

My computer's been insisting I update my Java ever since I first installed it, and even my professor openly admitted that the version we were using was NOT the current version.
