Hey Eric!

Looks like you might've accidentally put Example.java in the com directory. Try this, close your Example.java file and then do this in the terminal:

mv com/Example.java .

mv: missing destination file operand after ‘com/Example.java’
Try 'mv --help' for more information.

Okay this worked for example.java but not for treet.java. Any help with treet.java?

Compiling Example will automatically compile Treet, as it is imported.
You can now run:
