I'm trying to learn Java for the first time and I'm following a toutorial but i keep getting the same error after i try to run my code :/ My code:


public class Main {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        System.out.print("I love pizza");
    }

}

My error:

Error: Could not find or load main class Main
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Main

I've already created a 'Main' class but it won't work.

I thought it would print 'I love pizza' to the console window like it did in the toutorial i was watching but that does not happen :/

    The key lies in **how** you are running it. Command Line? Which OS? In an IDE? – Stewart Jul 26 '23 at 22:17

For me, it works …

I stored the code above to a file named Main.java in an empty folder, than I started a console, moved to that folder and entered

% java Main.java

That returned I love pizza as expected.

I was using Java 17; if you use an older version, you may have to type

% javac Main.java
% java Main

Make sure you have "classname" and "filename" are same. It's case-sensity.

//filename: Main.java

public class Main{
 public static void main(String args[]){  
 System.out.println("Hello Java");  
 }
}
//Hope this helps.
