> what is diff bet path & classpath?

Path is nothing but setting up an environment for operating system. for example in command prompt when i type javac the operating system mustunderstand this javac for that we need to set path if we set path then it will understand that exe file and compiles.

Classpath is nothing but setting up the corresponding envirnment for example in java i am using some predifined classes for that i need to set classpath then only it will refer to that classes existing alreday
