Installation Process of Java.

    Now lets see the installation setup of Java Programming in our machine...

Step-1: Download and install JDK. 

JDK Stands for Java Development Kit. It include Java Compiler which is used for conversion of our High-Level Java code into byte code (machine readable code). JDK also includes JRE (Java Runtime Environment) which is used to execute the byte code created by Java Compiler.
