Java is actually a very big programming language, so the Java company has divided it into several parts, so that the programmers who develop related software, only need to know about Java related to that category. But in all these parts of Java, a part of Java is used in common and that part of Java is called Core Java. In addition to Core Java, Java is divided into different parts to meet the needs of different types, those different parts are called Advance Java in one word.

What this means is that to write and run a C program, you must have access to a C compiler. If you are using a UNIX machine (for example, if you...
