Yes , you can use notepad to write codes but remember it is a text editor..so you need an IDE for compilation and execution of your codes

Yes,you can but notepad make it difficult for you. In notepad no color highlighting,can't change theme,not a good UI,no inbuilt terminal.Just a boring font of black color. I will suggest you to use VScode ,it comes with lot of extension,lite,good UI and user friendly But for java you can choose NetBeans till you complete core java and after that Eclipse.

Yes, yes you can but the real question is Should you use Notepad? Nope, instead use VS Code with plugins or Atom

Yes. Ofcourse But If you write html code don't forget to save with .html extensions or if you write Java code don't forget to save .Java extensions and also install jre and jvm file on your pc.You can write any language but just need to notice extensions of your code.

That is In case you are an absolute beginner, otherwise why would you use notepad when supportive IDEs like VScode, Pycharm, Intellij, and others are there to help?

Yes you can but you would have to download a lot tech yourself .Instead of that you should use a web based IDE like groom.com

I would suggest you use a dedicated IDE like IntelliJ is for Java. Having a good IDE makes your life a whole lot easier.
