Assuming that you have Windows. Go to Control Panel. Select System and then Advanced System Settings. From there you will get a dialog with 5 tabs. Select the Advanced tab and Environment Variables button on the bottom. That will bring up a dialog with two sections. The bottom section has administrative values that apply to every user. If you don't have admin rights, you can enter the path info on the top section but you still need to know what you're doing.Math10 said:
You have to figure out where the executable you want the execute IS and add a path to that folder.Math10 said:
If you don't have admin access, you can update your path by creating a new Path variable in the top section and setting the value to the directory where your javac program is located. My javac.exe is located in C:\Java\jdk1.7.0\bin so it would look like this:Math10 said:
Was the directory where your javac is located part of the Path?Math10 said:
I guess so? Really? I can't help if you can't even verify that.Math10 said:
You will have to have your path configured with an IDE also. Once it is set, you won't have to set it again.Math10 said:
No. just once.Math10 said:
javac.exe is javac. Microsoft has a setting that, by default, hides known extensions like .exe (I hate that stupid setting).Math10 said:
There could be a few reasons why you are getting an error while trying to compile your Java code. One possibility is that there is a syntax error in your code, such as a missing semicolon or curly brace. Another possibility is that you are trying to use a variable or method that has not been declared or defined. It is also possible that you are using the wrong Java compiler for your code. Double check your code for any errors and make sure you are using the correct compiler.
If you are getting a "class not found" error while trying to compile your Java code, it means that the compiler cannot locate a specific class that is being referenced in your code. This could be due to a missing or incorrect classpath setting. Make sure that all the necessary class files are in the correct location and that your classpath is correctly set up.
A "cannot find symbol" error means that the compiler cannot find a particular variable, method, or class that is being referenced in your code. This could be due to a typo or misspelling in your code, or it could be because the variable, method, or class has not been declared or imported correctly. Double check your code for any errors and make sure that all necessary imports and declarations are present.
A "method not found" error means that the compiler cannot find a certain method that is being called in your code. This could be due to a misspelling or incorrect method name, or it could be because the method has not been defined or imported correctly. Make sure that the method is spelled correctly and that it is being called on the correct object.
If you are getting "cannot resolve symbol" errors while compiling your Java code, it means that the compiler cannot find a particular symbol (such as a variable or method) that is being referenced in your code. This could be due to a typo or misspelling, or it could be because the symbol has not been declared or imported correctly. Double check your code for any errors and make sure that all necessary imports and declarations are present.
