How to compile the program:

Save above java code under your jdk -> bin folder with "Managar.java" name.

Go to Command Prompt and go to jdk bin folder location. Command to go to bin location

      cd C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0\bin and then press enter.

javac Manager.java

-> It will compile the java program line by line. If there is no error it will not print anything otherwise it will print the error with line number. If program gets compile successfully. One class file will be generated with "Manager.class" name which will hold compiled code which can be executed in anywhere other system also which will hold JDK installed. That’s the reason Java is Platform independent language.

Java Manager

-> It will execute the java program which shows "Hello Word" as per the current example. It will read the class file which got generated after compilation.
Note: Here no need to give .class while running the java program. Automatically it reads the class file only.
