Answer:
Compile it into Java bytecodes, then run the bytecode file with the Java interpreter.

Running the Program

To do all that, find the DOS command prompt window you started up a while back. It should still be positioned in the C:\Temp directory (or other directory of your choice). To check that you put the source file Hello.java in this directory, enter the command dir. You should see the source file, as below (for Windows 8). For Windows 7, the subdirectory will be C:\Users\TEMP (unless you picked a different one.)

               2 Dir(s)  274,381,590,528 bytes free

To compile the source file (thereby producing a file of bytecodes) enter the command javac Hello.java.

C:\Users\YourName\JavaSource>javac Hello.java

Notice that this command is javac, java-with-a-c which invokes the Java compiler. If you see the following

C:\Users\YourName\JavaSource>javac Hello.java

The name specified is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

then the PATH environment variable has not been set correctly. Look at Appendix C for information about this.

As a temporary alternative to a defective PATH, tell the command prompt exactly where to find javac:

Windows 7:

Windows 8:

Adjust the above command to match whatever directory your version of Java has been installed in. You almost certainly will need to change jdk1.8.0_05 to whatever you have installed, perhaps jdk1.7.0_06 or jdk1.8.0_06

---

Finally, to run the program, enter the command java Hello.

C:\Users\YourName\JavaSource>java Hello

Hello World!

C:\Users\YourName\JavaSource>

Notice that this command is java, java-without-a-c which invokes the Java interpreter. Again, if PATH is incorrect, you can run java by using the full path name to its location.

Question 16:
After all of this, what did the Java program actually do?
