Beginner to Java. Getting the error, java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: main... Exception in thread "main"

A way to fix this?

Thanks!

You are missing a main function in the program.

public void main(String[] args)

Yeah i figured that out. Thanks i just need to know where it goes...

The code will go right after your class declaration so you have:

public class primenumbertest {
public static void main(String[] args) {

You will have to put another bracket to match the other at the end.

Thanks I changed some things and I got it (:
