Answer / shruti gupta
'bin' is where binary (executable) files are stored. These
are the Java tools, e.g. java.exe, javac.exe, jar.exe, etc.
'lib' is where library files are stored, these are the Java
classes supplied for you to use in your programs. They are
mainly stored as compressed directories, in .jar files.

Answer / samborn pen
lib stands for library. The lib contains all the library
functions that are used by either jdk or user. These are the
implicit functions or classes that need not be defined
before using. For eg: the implementation of object class is
defined in lib.

Answer / samborn pen
bin stands for binary. It contains all the binary files
which are used by jdk during program compilation and
execution. If you save your program in bin folder, you need
not set the classpath before execution of programs. However,
this is not recommended practice.
