Nazifa;

Try java -version. That works for me in Windows CMD and Bash.

Hi Nazifa,

Technically also a java compiler will have it's version, similar to the java interpreter. So what you tried was not incorrect. Did you try using only javac? If that's not working then you didn't set the environment variables properly.

The image is from a Mac OS, but then I've tested the same on Windows.

Hope this helps
