    Please copy the full text of the error message and paste it here. It has important info about the error.

    I don't know what "editor does not contain a main type" means.
    Can you explain how you are trying to execute the program. Are you using an IDE?
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    It means there is no main class to run the program, you need to set a main class before running it.
