Environment understanding problem

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the necessity of installing the Java Development Kit (JDK) before using a Java Integrated Development Environment (IDE) like NetBeans. The JDK is essential because it includes the tools required to develop Java applications, such as the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) and other necessary software components. Unlike C++, where an IDE can be downloaded directly, Java requires the JDK to ensure that applications can run on any platform, highlighting Java's platform-independent nature. This clarification resolves the confusion about the installation process for Java development.

The JDK (Java Development Kit) includes an IDE (Integrated Development Environment) plus many other pieces of software. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_Development_Kit

i thing i understood since java is platform independent language .since ti does not depend on any platform.platform is operating system like windows,Linux.It can be run on any platform .so for that we need JDK. It makes java applications run on any platform.
java development kit is software used for java platform by which we are able to create java applications through java editor like net beans,blue j and it consist of java virtual machine.

sir Mark my confusion of why we need to install jdk before java ide i understood thanks .

thank you very much sir
 
Dear Peeps I have posted a few questions about programing on this sectio of the PF forum. I want to ask you veterans how you folks learn program in assembly and about computer architecture for the x86 family. In addition to finish learning C, I am also reading the book From bits to Gates to C and Beyond. In the book, it uses the mini LC3 assembly language. I also have books on assembly programming and computer architecture. The few famous ones i have are Computer Organization and...
I have a quick questions. I am going through a book on C programming on my own. Afterwards, I plan to go through something call data structures and algorithms on my own also in C. I also need to learn C++, Matlab and for personal interest Haskell. For the two topic of data structures and algorithms, I understand there are standard ones across all programming languages. After learning it through C, what would be the biggest issue when trying to implement the same data...
