Hi! I just started learning Java on w3schools and the first example I tried to do doesn't work.
I copied the code from w3 to my notepad, saved the file as Main.java to my desktop, and the command prompt returns an error, when it should give an output Hello World
Can anyone help?

try entering into the command prompt: cd Desktop, and then: java Main.java
does it work then?

Wow, it works! Thank you!!! @sick raven
Just a side question: what does "cd" mean? I mean why did this solve the problem?
sick raven
cd means you change the directory
south void
Aaaaa okay... what's the default directory?
sick raven
your user direcory, so if you want to run a file on your desktop you have to change the directory

Okay..sorry if I'm being a bit dense here, just - where would I need to save the file in order not to have to change the directory?
