2,663 PointsI can't run Messy.java
When I want to run my file Messy.java I get a window "Edit Configurations" and the program doesn't run. What's wrong?
import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.List;
public class Messy {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("one");
System.out.println("two");
System.out.println("three");
System.out.println("four");
System.out.println("five");
System.out.println("six");
System.out.println("seven");
System.out.println("eight");
System.out.println("nine");
/* 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;
System.out.println("numberWord");
}
}
}

2,663 PointsIt was named "Messy" I don't know why because I chose it to be java file. When I renamed it to be "Messy.java" everything works, but the file looks like a text file, not java file.

2,663 PointsI did it and I got an error: " class Messy is public, should be declared in a file named Messy.java".
