Hi, there! Suppose, you using Windows, then you have to run Command Prompt first. After that go to the directory where your program is (*.java) typing in "cd C:\[my directory]". Then type "javac [NameOfProgram].java". After the program successfully compiled, type in "java [NameOfProgram]". All this stuff you have to do from Command Prompt typing appropriate commands, not having to deal with javac.exe directly. Good luck!
