- Test object-oriented concepts like inheritance, polymorphism, and encapsulation instantly
Java 17 Language Features
- Modern Java 17 support including records, sealed classes, pattern matching, and text blocks
- Practice Java collections framework: ArrayList, HashMap, LinkedList, TreeSet, and more
- Use Java streams, lambdas, and functional interfaces for elegant data processing
- Test exception handling, generics, and advanced Java features without local setup
Educational & Professional Use Cases
- Perfect for Java interview preparation—test coding problems and algorithms quickly
- Learn Java OOP concepts: classes, objects, inheritance, interfaces, and abstract classes

Get started freeFrequently Asked Questions
What version of Java does this online compiler use?
This Java compiler runs Java 17 (LTS version), providing modern language features like records, sealed classes, pattern matching for instanceof, and text blocks. Write professional Java code with the latest syntax improvements.
Do I need to create multiple Java files for multiple classes?
No, you can define multiple classes in a single file for this online Java compiler. Just ensure one class contains the main() method. This is perfect for testing quick Java concepts without file management complexity.
Can I use Java libraries and frameworks?
This online Java compiler includes the Java Standard Library (java.util, java.io, java.lang, etc.) but doesn't support external frameworks like Spring or Hibernate. Perfect for core Java practice, algorithms, and data structure implementation.
How does Java compilation work here?
Your Java code goes through authentic two-phase compilation: first, javac compiles your .java source to bytecode, then the JVM executes it. You'll see compilation errors (syntax, type issues) before runtime errors—exactly like local Java development.
Can I practice Java interview questions?
Absolutely! This Java online compiler is ideal for coding interviews. Test algorithms, data structures, object-oriented design problems, and Java-specific questions. Share solutions via URL for interview follow-ups or portfolio demonstrations.
What happens if my Java code has infinite loops?
The Java compiler enforces a 30-second execution timeout. If your code runs longer, it's automatically terminated. This prevents infinite loops from hanging the system while giving enough time for most algorithm implementations.
Can I use Java 8 features like lambda expressions?
Yes! Java 17 includes all Java 8 features plus many more. Use lambda expressions, streams, functional interfaces, Optional, and method references. Practice modern functional Java programming patterns freely.
Is this good for learning object-oriented programming?
Perfect for OOP! Create classes, use inheritance, implement interfaces, practice polymorphism, and test encapsulation. The Java compiler enforces strong typing, making it excellent for understanding object-oriented design principles.
