Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Write code, Open terminal, Navigate to file directory, Compile with javac, Run with java
Why this is correct
This is the correct order because you first create the Java source file, then open a terminal, navigate to the directory containing the file, compile it using javac to generate a .class file, and finally run the compiled program using java.
- ✗
Write code, Open terminal, Compile with javac, Navigate to file directory, Run with java
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because you must navigate to the directory containing the Java file before compiling; otherwise, javac will not find the file.
- ✗
Open terminal, Write code, Navigate to file directory, Compile with javac, Run with java
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because writing code should be done before opening the terminal; typically you write and save the Java file in an editor, then use the terminal to compile and run.
- ✗
Write code, Open terminal, Navigate to file directory, Run with java, Compile with javac
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because you must compile the Java file before running it; running without compilation will result in a 'could not find or load main class' error.
