Setting Up Java Development Kit in Windows 10 

How to Download, Install, and Setting Up JDK in Windows 10?

What is JDK?

The Java Development Kit (JDK) is a software development environment for creating applets and Java applications. JDK is an abbreviation for Java Development Kit. It is available for usage by Java developers on Windows, macOS, Solaris, and Linux. JDK assists them in writing and running Java programs. It is feasible to run multiple JDK versions on the same machine. But it's recommended to install Java on Windows 10 with the latest version.

In this article, we are going to see how to set up JDK in Windows 10. Let’s divide the article into three parts.

  ∘ 1 . Getting the latest JDK version for Windows 10
  ∘ 2 . Installing JDK in Windows 10
  ∘ 3. Setting up the environment for Java in Windows 10

Let’s see one by one.

1 . Getting the latest JDK version for Windows 10

1 — Download the latest version of JDK from here.

3. Setting up the environment for Java in Windows 10

The PATH variable specifies the location of executables such as javac and java, among others. You can start a program without providing the PATH, but you must provide the entire path of the executable, such as C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-16.0.1\bin\javac ClassName.java instead of using javac ClassName.java.

The CLASSPATH variable specifies where the Library Files are stored.

Let’s look at how to establish the PATH and CLASSPATH variables.

Go to properties of My Computer/ This device.

Hello World project in ROS on Windows 10

We've seen how to install ROS in Windows 10 in this article, this is the time to start programming. What is the very first thing we do once we setup a new Programming Language? Hello World !!! Lets see how to write Hello World in ROS on Windows machine. Before going into the programming, make sure you've installed Gedit on your Windows machine. You can get it from here. Also, setup the path for Gedit and restart your machine to ensure the path definition works. First open the ROS terminal and check for the working directory. We have to be in the catkin workspace. If you've already created it, go to that directory. Or else, create it like this. Create a src folder inside catkin_ws. Inside that newly created src folder, lets create a new package in it. The command to create a ROS package is as follows. >catkin_create_pkg [PACKAGE_NAME] [DEPENDENT_PACKAGE_1] ....[DEPENDENT_PACKAGE_N] ‘std_msgs’ and ‘roscpp’ were added as optional dependent packages...

SQL Joins

You’ll nearly always need to connect many tables if you want to extract anything useful out of data. A join clause in SQL joins columns from one or more tables into a new table, similar to a join operation in relational algebra. In this article, let’s see how the joins work in SQL. We are going to explore the following SQL Joins.   ∘ 1 — (INNER) JOIN   ∘ 2 — LEFT (OUTER) JOIN   ∘ 3 — RIGHT (OUTER) JOIN   ∘ 4 — FULL (OUTER) JOIN AND UNION   ∘ When to use it? Also, I’m going to use the following tables for the above-mentioned SQL Joins. 1 — (INNER) JOIN Returns records with values in both tables that are the same. Image from Author As long as the condition is met, the INNER JOIN keyword selects all rows from both tables. This keyword will produce a result-set by merging all rows from both tables that satisfy the criteria, i.e. the common field’s value will be the same. Syntax: SELECT table1.column1,table1.column2,table2.column1,…. FROM table1 INNER JOIN ...

Collection Framework in Java

Data Structure As a definition, the data structure is a specific method of organizing data in a computer so that it may be used efficiently. In this article, we are going to see about the Collection Framework which enables us to implement some important Data Structures available on Java. Topics covered:   ∘ Data Structure   ∘ Collection Framework   ∘ Class vs Interface   ∘ Lists   ∘ Set   ∘ Map   ∘ Difference between List, Set, and Map interface in Java Collection Framework A Java collection is a grouping of separate objects that are represented as a single entity. Java collections, like data, provide all actions such as searching, sorting, insertion, modification, deletion, and so on. Java Collections is a fairly broad topic, and as a newbie, it might be tough to find your way around. We’ve covered all you need to know to get started with Java Collections.
