The instructions to the challenge are :

Oh yuck this file is so Messy. Can you please start a new IDEA project. Do not use a Template. Create a new new file named Messy, right off of the source code root (src ) folder. Copy and paste the code from the challenge into your new file.

In your IDEA project, did you add the code into a file called Messy.java?

How do you do that though.
