How can one save in Java?

I may have missed some information in the Introductory portion of Java, but how can one save to Java again?

Hi there! Could you please clarify the question a bit on what you mean by save to Java?

michaelcodes Thanks for replying. What I meant was, prior to compiling your code, how do you save your code. Sharina Jones actually provided me the answer I needed. I thank you both for your help.

To save, if you're using workspaces, just press Ctrl + S on Windows or CMD + S on a Mac.

After you save, you have to recompile your program. To compile your program, from the command box, type javac ProgramName.java. For example, if your program is called Hello, to compile it, you type javac Hello.java

Once the program is compiled, you can run it. To run the program, type java Program. Notice that you don't include .java at the end. If you've compile your Hello program, you would run it by typing java Hello.
