< I recently bought the book "Teach yourself Java in 21 days", and am
< experiencing a problem immediately at the beginning of the book. The basic
< "Hello World" program compiles fine, but when I try to execute it with
< "java HelloWorld", I get an error that says "can't find class/HelloWorld
< class". What gives?
Charles, I just bought the same book today and after working through the
first "day," I thought about your question. First of all, put the HelloWorld
in quotes. Like this: java "HelloWorld" Since the class name is more than 8
characters some dos apps have a hard time with it. Secondly, don't include
the .class extension or else you'll get the same error message. One more
thing, I can't get the HelloWorldApplet to work (mine or the supplied code).
It compiles but won't display on netscape or the appletviewer. I can however
get the second day app to work etc.. go figure?
I hope this is timely enough to help a fellow java novice. Also, this is my
first "reply" so if I'm doing something wrong someone PLEASE tell me.
Erik
