Java Local Development Environments Exploring Your IDE Clean up this mess

Something simple?

OK, so...I am at the last step of IntelliJ IDE setup.

I am pretty sure my code is correct.

I click on run and I get a window open up offering me "Edit Configurations." I tried messing with configurations to no avail.

What am I missing?

Messy.java 
import java.util.*;

public class Messy {
    public   static void main(String[]      args){
System.out.println("five");System.out.println("one");
    System.out.println("six");
    System.out.println( "four"       );     System.out.println("two");
    Please comment out this line and
    this line as well with a hotkey that does multi-line commenting
    List<String> numberWords = Arrays.asList("six", "seven", "eight", "nine");
    for (String numberWord:         numberWords) {
      // Use the sout shortcut to write out numberWord;
      }
    }}

Are you supposed to be reformatting the code to clean it up? You can click on the tab at the top that says code and click on reformat and then copy and paste your code into results.txt. I believe that is what you are supposed to do.

OK, so I deleted the project and redid everything the same (as far as I can tell) but this time it worked. I must have messed something up without realizing it. Hopefully it doesn't happen again.
