Java

Definition¶

Java is a high-level, general-purpose, memory-safe, object-oriented programming language. It is intended to let programmers write once, run anywhere.

On Euler the following versions of Java are available:

Create a file hello.java, with the content

class Hello
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
System.out.println("Hello, World!");
}
}

Bring java and javac (the java compiler) to the command line with

module load stack/2024-06 openjdk/21.0.3_9

Compile the program hello.java

javac hello.java

which produces a file Hello.class. Then run the program with

java Hello

and the program should print

Hello, World!

to your terminal.
