Step 2. Locate the Java Compiler
Figure 8
An Integrated Development Environment
Computer systems differ greatly in this regard. On some systems you must
open a shell window (see
Figure 7
) and type commands to launch the compiler.
Other systems have an integrated development environment in which you can write
and test your
programs (see
Figure 8
). Many university labs have information sheets
and tutorials
that walk you through the tools that are installed in the lab. Instructions
for several popular compilers are available in WileyPLUS.
