I had some java classes a couple years ago, due to lack of use it all faded away. now ive been getting back into it. i was following a very simple tutorial building something using sublime (it was so simple i didn't bother on getting a proper IDE) the two files are:
package hello;
public class HelloWorld {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Greeter greeter = new Greeter();
System.out.println(greeter.sayHello());
System.out.println("random alt shift");
}
}
and
package hello;
public class Greeter {
public String sayHello() {
return "Hello world!";
}
}
Greeter compiles dine but HelloWorld gives me the following error:
javac HelloWorld.java
HelloWorld.java:6: error: cannot find symbol
Greeter greeter = new Greeter();
^
symbol: class Greeter
location: class HelloWorld
HelloWorld.java:6: error: cannot find symbol
Greeter greeter = new Greeter();
^
symbol: class Greeter
location: class HelloWorld
2 errors
and if i add "import hello.Greeter;" i get:
HelloWorld.java:2: error: cannot find symbol
import hello.Greeter;
^
symbol: class Greeter
location: package hello
HelloWorld.java:6: error: cannot find symbol
Greeter greeter = new Greeter();
^
symbol: class Greeter
location: class HelloWorld
HelloWorld.java:6: error: cannot find symbol
Greeter greeter = new Greeter();
^
symbol: class Greeter
location: class HelloWorld
3 errors
On the IDE it runs fine, can anyone be so kind as to explain whats happening
