Ummm just set a path for javac...... it works

but when i try to compile my text file... it says file not found... I'm guessing cuz the file needs to be in system32 or something? idk.....
What i need help with is, making it so i can compile a text file from my desktop in a folder labeled "Java/Chapter1" java being one folder, and Chapter1 being a sub folder.... Would really appreciate the help!



ehhhh.....EDIT: figured out a temporary solution..... CD C:\users\username1\desktop\java\chapter1



EDIT: When i try using "javac Example.java" says filenot found.... also tried "java Example" get error: "Could not find or load main class Example"

This is the code inside the text file "Example.java"


:



/*
This is a simple Java program.
Call this file Example.java.
*/
class Example {
// A Java program begins with a call to main().
public static void main(String args[]) {
System.out.println("Java drives the Web.");
}
}






EDIT: Also forgot to mention i'm using JDK 8

Figured out the problem, someone can close this or delete it, thanks!

sounds like you're using your command prompt in the default location instead of your project's location.
