Please advise. After testing the code I keep getting an error.

Hi guys. After testing this code:

//__ Name is a __ adjective __ __ noun. They are always __ adverb__ __ verb__. 
      int age = 12;
      if (age<13) {
        // Insert exit code
        console.printf("sorry you must be st least 13 or use this program.\n");
        System.exit(o);
      }
      String name = console.readLine("Enter Your Name  ");
      String adjective = console.readLine("enter an adjective:  ");
      String noun = console.readLine("enter a noun:  ");
      String adverb = console.readLine("enter a adverb:  ");
      String verb = console.readLine("enter a verb ending in -ing:  ");

      console.printf("Your TreeStory:\n---------------\n");
      console.printf("%s is a %s $s.  ", name, adjective, noun);
      }

}
}

I keep getting this message:

When loading the compiler, you are not writing "TreeStory.java". You are forgetting the ".java" at the end. It is

javac TreeStory.java

(Not javac TreeStory)
