How to download the needed software to code on a computer?

Question

So, I've been using SoloLearn here for a few weeks now, and still kinda new to coding. Now, I know there's the 'code playground' on this, but is there a needed software to code on a computer outside of this app, too? I'm specifically learning Java. Sorry if I sound like an idiot or something, I'm still quite young...

Answer 1

Eclipse is a pretty good IDE for java. It'll pretty much give you a place to work like code playground but with so added niceties (debugging, input as you go, etc.)

You may also need a jdk. Anything 8 to 11 should be fine. Normally you can find an installer if you google jdk x, where x us the version you want.

Sometimes though it won't detect it, in which case you need to add it to your path. You can look up how to do that pretty easily

Answer 2

Hohooo, I'm also a Java beginner. I use Eclipse IDE and that would be a good one. Or try NetBeans IDE. You can google it for more info. 🙂

Answer 3

I also tried Android Studio and it was very complicated as hell.

Answer 4

Thank you both so much! I'll try those!
Have a wonderful day!
