Online Java Compiler

Use the online Java compiler page to practice class structure, arrays, loops, Scanner input and interview-style console programs. The starter code follows the familiar public Main class pattern used by many online judges. When a sandbox provider is configured, Java code is compiled outside the Next.js process and the page displays stdout, stderr and compile output separately so errors are easier to understand.

Ready.

Hello, Mira!
Average: 84.25
Java execution requires a configured sandbox API.

How to use this Java compiler

  • Open the Java starter code or choose another example from the dropdown.
  • Add stdin only if the example reads from standard input.
  • Review stdout, errors, compile output or table results in the output panel.
  • Copy the code or download it as a .java file when the result looks right.

Java features

  • Main-class starter template
  • Scanner input examples
  • Separate compile and runtime output
  • Download as Main.java
  • Related C++ and Python comparisons
  • Sandbox provider boundary

Common use cases

  • Practice Java basics
  • Prepare online judge solutions
  • Teach arrays and loops
  • Debug Scanner input

Java example code

Arrays, loops and Scanner input in one small program.

import java.util.*;

public class Main {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
    String name = scanner.hasNextLine() ? scanner.nextLine().trim() : "Anku";
    int[] scores = {82, 91, 76, 88};
    int total = 0;

    for (int score : scores) {
      total += score;
    }

    System.out.println("Hello, " + (name.isEmpty() ? "Anku" : name) + "!");
    System.out.println("Average: " + (total / (double) scores.length));
  }
}

Sample output

Hello, Mira!
Average: 84.25

Common Java errors

  • Class name mismatch: Keep the public class named Main for online compiler compatibility.
  • Missing semicolon: Java statements usually end with a semicolon.
  • Scanner waits for input: Provide sample stdin when the code reads with Scanner.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is the class named Main?

Main is the safest default for online Java compilers because many sandbox runners compile the submitted file as Main.java.

Can I use packages in this Java compiler?

For short online examples, avoid package declarations and keep everything in one Main class.

Does Java execution require a sandbox provider?

Yes. Java compilation should happen in Piston, Judge0 or another isolated execution service, not inside the web server process.

How do I provide Java input?

Paste lines into the stdin box. Scanner reads from that text when the program runs.

Can I download my Java code?

Yes. The download button saves the editor content as a .java file.
