How to setup workspace correctly?

After running the command "clear && javac Example.java && java Example" it gives the error "javac: file not found: Example.java"

But every file i created is named exactly the same as in the video. Can someone tell me wha ti should do?

Mine is running. Are you sure you didn't call your file example.java instead of Example.java ? It's case sensitive. Also check your folder structure. Are all folders and files the same as the teacher's. If you call the javac command from the wrong directory it won't find the file either.

The Example.java is not in the correkt folder it has to be on the same level as the "Java Data Structures - Packages"-Folder and not a child of the "com"-Folder you can move the file per drag&drop sligthly under the JDSP-Folder.
