When you create programs, you will normally follow the same steps. To begin, you will use an editor to create your source file. Next, you will compile the program using a Java compiler. If the program CONTAINS syntax errors, you must edit the source file, correct the errors, and re-compile.
After the program successfully compiles, the compiler GENERATES a new file, KNOWN as bytecode. By using a Java interpreter, or appletviewer, you can execute the bytecode to test if it runs successfully. If the program does not work as you EXPECTED, you must REVIEW the source code to locate the error. After you correct the error, you must compile the source code to create a new byte code file. You can then test the new program to ensure that it performs the desired task. This illustrates the program development process.
