My class is not running

[austere pond]

I am currently using Windows 11 and I'm trying to setup java for classes. I'm using Windows PowerCell and Notepad for my coding. when I tried to compile, I got the error message "PS C:\Users\tcgqw\Downloads\firstcode. java> javac Firstcode. java
Firstcode. java:1: error: '{' expected
public class Firstcode. java {
1 error
I attached an image of my code to the post

I want to have it save the class file so it could print, but I don't know why it isn't working it just makes an error no matter how I edit the class or file name
Code as text
`public class Firstcode.java {

public static void main (String [] args) {
int wage;

  wage = 20;                        

  System.out.print("Salary is ");       
  System.out.println(wage * 40 * 52);   

}
}`

Why is your class called Firstcode.java

[austere pond]

I had it like that since just Firstcode gave me another error ": Class names, 'Firstcode', are only accepted if annotation processing is explicitly requested 1 error "

Rename it to public class Firstcode {}

Then

javac Firstcode.java

Then

java Firstcode

I suspect you forgot the .java ending when running javac

So the java compiler didnt know Firstcode was a .java file

[austere pond]

I ended up getting the same error

Then i really dont know

Is your file itself called Firstcode.java? And the classname is Firstcode?

Its not Firstcode.java.java or something

Maybe also just save the edits and try again, very strange

🤔

I think saving might’ve done something? I honestly have no idea. I got a IDE yesterday and everything started working in it and on the notepad and windows powercell. It’s fixed now but I have no idea how 💀

I really hope this doesn’t happen again lol

[vivid smelt]

which ide did you get?

i think IntelliJ autosaves for you, so does Eclipse (i think) 💯
