Running a program
Editing your own Java code
A grand tour of the IntelliJ window
If you’re a programming newbie, for you, running a program probably means clicking a mouse. You want to run Microsoft Word, so you double-click the Microsoft Word icon. That’s all there is to it.
When you create your own programs, the situation is a bit different. With a new program, the programmer (or someone from the programmer’s company) creates the program's icon. Before that process, a perfectly good program may not even have an icon. So, what do you do with a brand-new Java program? How do you get the program to run? This chapter tells you what you need to know.
