My app wont run do to the MemeDataSource java file.

I attempted to run the application and Evan did in the video and this error occurred:

Error:(18, 8) error: class MemeDataSource is public, should be declared in a file named MemeDataSource.java

Hey Jody! Your filename should match the name of the public class declared inside the file. Try renaming your file MemeDataSource.java.
