can't set path for javac
<p>I've put in an embarrassing amount of time reading threads here and elsewhere, I cannot compile HelloWorldApp.java</p>

<p>Using Windows 7</p>

<p>the location of the script is C:\Users\Phil\Desktop</p>

<p>the location of javac is C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_77\bin</p>

<p>In Environment Variables, in both User and System Variables, I have clicked NEW, and given the "Variable Name" as javac and "Variable Value" as `</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_77\bin;</p>
</blockquote>

<p>`</p>

<p>I have tried to make this work based on the 2 different ways here (to no avail): <a href="https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/getStarted/problems/" rel="nofollow">https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/getStarted/problems/</a></p>

<p>I am failing to set a path, or tell computer where to find it from within cmd.  What am I doing wrong?</p>
