'.java' files contain java source code. One can access these files on windows by using 'notepad'.
java files
It is created by the Java compiler, based on the source code (the .java file).
in .exe file it contains machine understandable code. but in .class file it contain only byte code which is not understadable by the microprocessor it will understud by the jvm only . we con't execute .class file without jvm . but we can execute .exe file without c-compiler .
Java source files have the .java extension, compiled Java class files have the .class extension.
.jar files contain byte-code compiled to run on the Java Virtual Machine.
.class is the extension of a java byte code file.
It is created by the Java compiler, based on the source code (the .java file).
The source code is just the set of statements written in (any included) java language by a programer (in this case our source code is a text file with .java extension). And in other hand a bytecode is the resulting code of compile a .java file, It is not machine code, but it can be interpreted and executed by the jvm.
A java file contains the code you write. One java file contains one class so for example when I want to make a class called Person, the source code is saved in Person.java
in .exe file it contains machine understandable code. but in .class file it contain only byte code which is not understadable by the microprocessor it will understud by the jvm only . we con't execute .class file without jvm . but we can execute .exe file without c-compiler .
Java source files have the .java extension, compiled Java class files have the .class extension.
Yes, it can. However, there can only be one public class per .java file, as public classes must have the same name as the source file.
If you want to compile a java program the name of that source code must end with extension .java
You write the source code, in a text editor, or better in a special IDE. The source code should have the extension ".java". You can have several classes in the same file. Then you compile the class to bytecode; this creates a file with extension ".class".
.jar files contain byte-code compiled to run on the Java Virtual Machine.
.class is the extension of a java byte code file.
A Java source code file can contain any number of classes. However, only one one of them can contain the main method which is called upon execution after compilation of the source code. However, this is a bad practice that needs to be avoided. Generally, one of those classes is the actual class while the other is a test class.
An application is a compiled batch of source code, usually in the form of an executable or JAR file.
