I am new to Java application and having trouble compiling a simple Helloworld program.

JDK 1.7.0 is installed in my Windows 7 and was able to set the path variable but didn't work. I keep getting the following error:

C:\Users\Ivy>cd \
C:\cd java files
C:\java files>set path=C:Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.7.0\bin
C:\java files>javac Hello.java
'javac' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file

    Thank you for reaching out to us.

    The path looks incorrect. You missed the '\' character after C:. It should be:

    set PATH=C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.7.0\bin;%PATH%

    Then, you can verify it with the where command.

    C:\Users\U8009686>where javac
    C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-11.0.11\bin\javac.exe
