Introduction to Java + Installing Java JDK and IntelliJ IDEA for Java

  • Java is one of the most popular programming languages because it is used in various tech fields like app development, web development, client-server applications, etc.

Step 3: Downloading IntelliJ IDEA :

  • We need an Integrated Development Environment(IDE) to write and debug our code easily.
  • IntelliJ IDEA is the best-suited IDE for writing Java code.
  • Click here, and you will be redirected to the official download page of IntelliJ IDEA.
