Steps to set Environment Variables in Java: Path and Classpath

The PATH variable gives the location of executables like javac, java etc. It is possible to
run a program without specifying the PATH, but you will need to give full path of
executable like C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_271\bin\javac A.java instead of
simple javac A.java

The CLASSPATH variable gives location of the Library Files.
