CISC 3130 Data Structures: Java SDK 8

Professor Chuang Spring 2020 OER

We're using Java SDK version 8 for this class. It's the version installed on the computer labs on campus.

You may use any Java version on your machine, but there are some quirks specific to Java 8. It would be helpful to keep the link to the official documentation handy so you become familiar https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/

Compiling Java on Command Line

To compile java source code on the command line, it is with this command: 

javac Main.java

followed by running the executable with

java Main

If you have Windows or a tablet, you can log into the linux server to compile code from the command line. 

ssh username@146.245.252.151

After entering your password, create a directory for your assignment, such as:

mkdir folder1

You can use vim editor commands to edit files, or nano as others prefer.

vim folder1/File1.java

You can get your linux server account information from W.E.B. Computing Lab
