ERROR-hello world

Question

I have performed "Hello World" both with and without error. The first time I got an error due to a missing ";" at the end. I fixed that and it worked just fine. However when I tried doing this line again I got a new error that makes NO SENSE TO ME!

This is what I got: Error: Could not find or load main class MyClass
Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Myclass (wrong name: MyClass)

What causes this? NOTHING CHANGED AND I COPIED THE ORIGINAL TEXT.

Answer 1

Honestly that's what I thought too. Sadly I closed out the tab in frustration earlier. But I shall try to replicate it.

Answer 2

I have found the problem I believe anyway..

class MyClass {
public static void main(String[ ] args) {
System.out.println("Hello World");
}
}
class Myclass {
public static void main(String[ ] args) {
System.out.println("Hello World");

}
}

It looks like instead of MyClass I was typing "Myclass" the one lowercase letter seems to have messed it up. That was the only thing that made it replicate the issue.

I tried it a third time and missed a single . between "System" and "out" heh, syntax is everything and same with proofing...I am a COMLPLETE NOOB at this but it is fun. Thank you for taking the time to respond sir.
