How to Set Java Programming Path in windows operating system?

Java is one of the most populor programming languages that has conquered the IT world. To keep up with the growing industry, it is important to learn Java and the first step for obvious reasons is installing Java. After the installation, if you want to work with java without any IDE one would need to set the java path. 

Why Do You Set A Java Path?
The path is the most important environment variable of the Java environment which is used to locate the JDK packages that are used to convert the java source code into the machine-readable binary format.

Tools like javac and java can be used by setting the path. When you save your file in the java directory i.e where java is installed, it is not necessary to set a path. But if you are saving your file outside the directory, it is fairly necessary to set the path beforehand.
