javac: Compile a `.java` file.

javac

$ javac ${file-java}

try on your machine

The command "javac ${file-java}" is a command that can be used in a command-line interface like the Unix shell or Windows command prompt to compile a Java source code file.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

"javac" is the command that invokes the Java compiler. It is used to compile Java source code files (.java) into bytecode files (.class) that can be executed by the Java Virtual Machine (JVM).
"${file-java}" is a placeholder that needs to be replaced with the actual name of the Java source code file (.java) you want to compile. The "${file-java}" syntax is commonly used in integrated development environments (IDEs) or text editors that offer macros or variables that can be expanded to the current file's name or path.

To use this command, you would need to replace "${file-java}" with the actual name of the Java source code file you want to compile (e.g., "MyProgram.java"). Then you can run the command in a command-line interface to compile the Java code into bytecode.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
