I'm not sure what error in your code would throw a file not found error message during the compile to be honest. It would be a huge help in assisting you if you could copy and paste your code here.

Below is a copy of the code I have at this stage. If you can't copy and paste your code here (for some reason) perhaps you could compare the two to see where you may be going wrong or even replace your code with mine and try to compile it instead.

Contents of the Introductions.java file:

import java.io.Console;

public class Introductions {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Console console = System.console();
        // Welcome to the Introductions program!  Your code goes below here
        String firstName = console.readLine("What is your name? ");
        console.printf("Hello, my name is %s\n", firstName);
  }
}

Console command to compile and run the code:

javac Introductions.java && java Introductions

Hope it helps!

Hi Will

As you haven't posted the command you're using I'm going to take a shot in the dark and say remember you must type the filename with the correct capitalisation.

As in you should be typing the below: (Note the capital "I")

javac Introductions.java

Hope it helps although if I've guessed wrong if you could post what you're typing I may be able to assist further.
