After I write a program in WordPad.

What are my steps afterward to see the program work?

How to compile and run?

What to type in CMD?


Thank you in advance.

c:\yourdirectory>java -cp YourFile
to run

I type in:

c:\users\duran\desktop\javac payroll.java
I get: is not recognized as an internal or external command and, operable program or bath file.

You have to set the path variable in your enviroment var

set it to

c:\your jdk directory \bin

Here are the steps you have to follow.

1. Save the file, file name should be same as your class name
2. Open the command prompt and change the working directory to the java file saved location
3. Set the Java class path to that folder
4. Simply type the following command.
   
   

   path=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_07\bin

5. Then compile the file as follows
   
   

   javac file_name.java

6. Then run the file as follows
   
   

   java file_name

Read the post #6. There is an easier way to do it. But keep in mind each time you open the command prompt and start works, you have to set the class path manually. If you set the environment variables, no need to do it each time.
