Selenium Webdriver 3 - Closing the browser/browsers using close()

1. Closing Single browser using driver.close().

package shirageri.blog;

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;

public class HelloBrowser3 {

public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException {

//Step 1 - Open empty browser
WebDriver driver  = new FirefoxDriver();

//Step 2 -Wait for 5 sec before clossing opened browser
Thread.sleep(1000);

//Step 3 - Close the opened browser
driver.close();


}
}

Note: 

1. Thread.sleep(milisec) - this method makes the running thread to sleep for mentioned timeout. The reason behind using this here is for understandability. 

2. Closing Multiple browsers using driver.close().

package shirageri.blog;

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;

import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;

public class HelloBrowser4 {

public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException {

//Step 1 - Open 1st empty browser

WebDriver driver1  = new FirefoxDriver();

//Step 2 - Open 2nd empty browser

WebDriver driver2  = new FirefoxDriver();

//Step 3 -Wait for 5 sec before closing 1st browser

Thread.sleep(1000);

//Step 4 - Close the opened browser

driver1.close();

//Step 5 -Wait for 5 sec before closing 2nd browser browser

Thread.sleep(1000);

//Step 5 - Close 2nd browser

driver2.close();

}

}

Note: If you created driver object as an array you can use any looping technique to close it.
