        }
    }
    Where is the java source code that compiled so you could try to execute the program?
    The code you posted should generate some compiler errors that would prevent the compiler from creating a class file that is needed to be able to execute the program.

    If the message doesn't make sense after looking (carefully) at your code, then I suggest you look (carefully) at every working example in your textbook, class notes, on-line tutorial or whatever material you are learning from.

    Don't they all look kind of like this?

     
    // May have a package statement
     
    // May have one or more import statements
     
    public class Whatever {
     
        // May have various kinds of variables and/or methods for the class
     
        public static void main(String [] args) {
     
            // Stuff here that will be executed
     
        } // End of main
     
        // May have various kinds of variables and/or methods for the class
     
    } // End of class definition

    Bottom line: The main() thingie is a method of a public class, and, therefore, is defined totally within the class.


    Cheers!
