Before diving into DSA, let’s get your system ready to code in Java!
📘 Java_Setup_Guide.md (inside Day0_Setup/)
Download and install Java from:
- Oracle JDK (Recommended)
- or OpenJDK (Free, open-source)
📌 Recommended version: Java 17+
Verify installation:
java -version
javac -versionChoose an Integrated Development Environment:
| IDE | Why Use It | Download Link |
|---|---|---|
| IntelliJ IDEA | Great for Java, smart suggestions | Download |
| VS Code | Lightweight + extensions | Download |
| Eclipse | Classic Java IDE | Download |
Using IntelliJ:
- File → New Project → Java
- Set SDK to your installed JDK
- Create a class:
Main.java - Run with
Shift + F10or the green play button.
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("Java setup successful!");
}
}Compile:
