I am coding a Java app, can someone tell me what program do I use to run the app.

In my class my teacher wants to see the app, but I don't know which program to use to run it.

What are you doing the coding in? If you are using an IDE that allows you to compile the program, then it certainly should allow you to run it.

If you are not using an IDE, there are a number of free ones. jGRASP and BlueJ are used by a lot of schools because they are free, easy to install, and have a relatively small learning curve. IntelliJ IDEA and Ellipse are some others, with nicer features, but a higher learning curve. If you google for Java IDEs you will get quite a list!

I was using workspaces to compile the app. And thank you I will Google search some now.
