Question Java Runtime Environment (JRE) version 8 or 10 ?

[nikodemdyzma2024]

When I type "java download" in Google, the website https://www.java.com/download/manual.jsp pops up
It's written there

Recommended Version 8 Update 391

This is the page for Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 8 Update 391
Java Runtime Environment (JRE) version 10 is available at https://www.softpedia.com/get/System/OS-Enhancements/Java-Runtime-Environment.shtml.
Java Runtime Environment (JRE) is a runtime environment for programs written in Java.

Do 32-bit applications require Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 32-bit?
Do 64-bit applications require Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 64-bit?

Is it better to install Java Runtime Environment (JRE) in 2 versions, 32 bit and 64, to be able to run 32 and 64 bit applications?
Java Runtime Environment (JRE) version 10 is only available in the 64-bit version.
Is it a good idea to install Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 8 for 32 bit and Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 10 for 64 bit?

JDK Development Kit (JDK) or (SDK) are programming tools.
I am not a programmer, so I choose Java Runtime Environment (JRE), but if I decided to learn programming in Java, should I download the JDK Development Kit or the Java SDK?

I wouldn't download it from softpedia...

Java.com is acceptable or you can get it from the source:

What version of Java you need depends entirely on how a program that uses it was written. Yes, for 32bit Java applications you will need a 32bit JRE.

JDK can be required as a prerequisite for non development applications, usually lazy developers who never compile for just JRE.

JDK gets you enough to be able to do simple text based programming. More suitable IDEs exists for a more in-depth experience.
