Basic Help with error
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Variables/class
this error comes up when i try to run simple programs that i am copying the text straight from my "teach yourself" book. here is the text of one;
class Variables {
public static void main(String[] arguments) {
final char UP = 'U';
byte initialLevel = 12;
short location = 13250;
int score = 3500100;
boolean newGame = true;
System.out.println("Level: " + initialLevel);
System.out.println("up: " + UP);
}
}

Obviously even without you telling us what the command line you used to try to run that class, I can tell you tried this:
java Variables.class
You are not to specify file names to the runtime. You need to specify class names. In this case the class name is simply Variables.
Beaten to it by another psychic...

Learning to program is all about making mistakes. One thing you'll notice about an experienced programmer who's learning another languages is his/her attention to details. It's like I learned in carpentry class: measure twice, cut once.
