Error (3, 8, 13, 44); Java; IntelliJ

[MKKey]

Hello, tech people,

I'm newly appeared at the software stage and I don't know more than I know. So, please bare with me and give me some clear guidelines.

I'm trying to code some simple solution of one of my first tasks in Java and I can't find my mistake here. The main reason for writing this code is that I want to print my names with the count of its letters.


package com.company;

public class Main {

public static void main(String[] args) {
// write your code here


String meFirstName = "Smarty";
String meLastName = "Trousers";
String meFullName = meFirstName + " " + meLastName;
int letters = meFullName.length();
System.out.println("My fullname is " + meFullname + ".");
System.out.println("My name has" + " " + letters + " " + "letters.");
}
}

Thank you!

It seems yo do not understand the error:
"Error(3,8): class Main is public should be declared in a file named Main.java"

The "(3,8)" says the error in on line #3 somewhere near character 8.
and for the rest:
The main class ('Main') seems to be public, which means you have to name the file 'Main.java' (of change line #3 to 'public class xyz', but than you will have to rename the file to xyz.java. 😉

The name of the public class must same as the name of the .java file in which it is placed like

public class Demo{}

must be placed in the Demo.java file. so either

• Rename your file from Main.java to Demo.java

• Rename the class from

  public class Demo { 

  to

   public class Main {
