<p\>Tegh Mehta, <p>Please rename your java file to Introductions.java.</p><p> That is what the error says too, once you take a look at it.</p><p> In java, the file has to be given the name of the class that it contains.</p><p> So, you can either rename the file to Introductions.java OR rename the class and its constructors,if any, to Java1.</p><p> Hope this helps.</p><p> Please Up vote and Mark as Answer if it helps. And in case, it does not, please reply so that we will get to know.</p> <p> Thanks.</p>
