Exception in thread "main" org.openqa.selenium.remote.UnreachableBrowserException:Could not start a new session

Question

I just started to learn Selenium WebDriver. Could you all help me to resolve below problem. I simply want to open the web-site(I am able to open browser successfully but navigation got failed )

import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;
import org.openqa.selenium.*;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;

public class webdriverdemo {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();

        //Puts an Implicit wait, Will wait for 10 seconds before throwing exception
        driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

        //Launch website
        driver.navigate().to("http://www.calculator.net/");

        //Maximize the browser
        driver.manage().window().maximize();
    }
}

I found below errors :

Seems like there is some issue with creating session with Firefox. Try the following code and test using Chrome browser.

You need to download the executable driver from: https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/downloads

public static void main(String[] args){
    System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","/path/to/chromedriver");
    WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
    driver = new ChromeDriver();
    //Puts an Implicit wait, Will wait for 10 seconds before throwing exception
    driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

    //Launch website
    driver.get("http://www.calculator.net/");

    //Maximize the browser
    driver.manage().window().maximize();
}
