Hello Keenan and classmates,

I have been trying to compile my program however when I try to run javac on my command prompt it just shows " error file not found."

i have double checked that javac and java are installed and have edited the path and environmental variable and have not deleted anything important. I have also renamed my file and still the error message appears.

if anyone else has had these problems or knows the solution. please let me know. 

Thank you 

If you are getting file not found it probably means you are not in the right directory with your .java file.  Remember that you may need to use the "cd" command to get to the right folder.  You can also double check the folder you are in by using the "dir" command to see the list of files and folders in your current working folder.  If you can see your .java file then you are in the correct place.

I have used dir to check before i compiled my folder and have used cd to path where my java file is but everytime it does not show a .java file. 

it didnt work
