Compiling is not working?

I wrote the coding correctly but for some reason I can't see the text that I wrote in the console section after compiling?? Using the ls I can see that there is a file called Introductions.class but still no text showing after I type in: java Introductions!!

To begin with you cannot compile a class file. You can import a class into a java file, but then the java file should be compiled. So your file should be named Introductions.java not Introductions.class.

To compile we use the command javac. So your command should be:

javac Introductions.java
