'What have JDK and IntelliJ to do for Java programming? [closed]
New user here. I have just recently started learning Java programming. Can someone explain in their own words what JDK and IntelliJ have to do for Java programming? I did google, but the answers were not satisfying.

from Wikipedia, Java is a high-level, class-based, object-oriented programming language that is designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible. JDK or Java Development Kit is a set of tools needed for developing a Java Application, like compiler, interpreter and other tools. For writing a Java program you can use any text editor and save your files with .java extension.
At older times people used to type code in basic editors like notepad.
But now things has changed. To easily understand your code there are some softwares which can format your code, highlight syntax, compile and run your project in just one click, Find your errors at the same time writing the code and many more. A software like that is called an IDE or Integrated Development Environment. There are many IDEs available now and IntelliJ is one of them. Other than IntelliJ, there are many IDes like
and many more
I think now your doubt is cleared.
