Hey,

you add the extension (.java) when compiling the class: javac Introductions.java, but you should not add it when running the compiled class: java Introductions (but NOT java Introductions.java)

Make sure that there are curly braces "{}" wrapped around your class and main method:

public class ExampleClass{

   public static void main(String[] args){

      //code goes here

   }

}

Thanks for your reply, actually I have the curly braces and still get this error message.
