hello friends..got a problem again..

I'm developing a software for one of our assignments.I have coded that program using Netbeans but we have to upload the assignment as one java file.So I created one java file and again checked in netbeans as a single file.It works perfectly.And then I tried to compile and run that file using command prompt.But then It generate some errors. I'm attaching a image of errors generated and the source file.Please can you people help me out ?

Well ... if you take a closer look at your code, you'll see that you haven't placed your main method in the Main class, but in a 'newMain' class. your JVM is looking for the Main class in your code, but since it's not there, it runs into an exception.

Here's how to copy and paste the command prompt:

Your posted code does NOT have a class named: Main.

Thank you for the tip.
I'm sorry about that because this is not the code I tried to run at cmd.. the original code has a class named Main..I'll post the original one.

Do a dir command after the javac compile step to show what files are in the directory.
Is the CLASSPATH environment variable set? Does it have a . in it?
If not either add one to it or use the -cp . option for java:
java -cp . main

BTW Naming conventions for classes use Uppercase for the first letter: Main

and ... case sensitivity is in play: main is not the same as Main

Thank you for helping.. It worked.. But can I make this code to work just entering java Main at cmd ??

and ... case sensitivity is in play: main is not the same as Main

Thank you friend.. I got it.. :)
