Java · No sign-in needed

Try core Java with a browser editor and console.

Write a Java program, compile it in your browser and check its output. Practise the language with small examples before moving to a larger project.

Code runs in your browser. Guided course help requires sign-in.

Start with a matching class and entry file

Use a public class whose name matches its filename and a main(String[] args) entry point. The workspace compiles project classes together. Console Scanner input supports common token, number and line operations.

A few details to check

When a result surprises you, inspect one small part of the program before rewriting everything.

  • The public class name must match the entry filename.
  • Integer and floating-point calculations can produce different results.
  • This browser runtime supports core Java, rather than every desktop JDK API.

What this runtime supports

Use a public class matching the entry filename and main(String[] args). Project classes compile together. This is core Java with TeaVM, including a console Scanner for tokens, numbers and lines. Custom Scanner delimiters, reflection, native libraries and desktop interfaces are not supported.

From an experiment to guided coursework

The public playground runs code without an account. Sign in to work in a personal course or a teacher-led class, where the tutor can use your code and run output when you ask a question. In a teacher-led class, your teacher can read the conversation and review saved code. Personal study is not shared with a teacher.

Questions you might have

Do I need to sign in to run Java?

No. The public coding playground is free to try without signing in. Drafts stay in this browser. Guided course help and saved account work require sign-in.

Can I run any project here?

No. The playground is designed for learning experiments within its browser runtime. Review the supported features above, and keep examples small enough to inspect.
