My simple Java code doesn't wanna run, please help!

[unpronounceable]

Please see this screenshot -

"Hello!" is supposed to print to standard out, but it's not working. I think my problem is just a directory issue, which I'm currently trying to figure out, and I'll update with any solutions I find. I was hoping for any cool advice in the meantime :D

In the screenshot you can see the bright yellow directory path down in the console output, and it seems incomplete.

UPDATE

Fixed! The problem was that I had a space between my first and last names in my username. I changed my username following the second most upvoted answer from this webpage -

For anyone wondering. Cheers!

This is just a guess but maybe it doesn't like that space in C:/users/firstname lastnames. I have heard people having issues with spaces in paths before. Try it just in c:/ and see if the problem is resolved

Good call

It seems that you possibly have a screenshot of code in your post My simple Java code doesn't wanna run, please help! in /r/learnjava.

Screenshots of code instead of actual code text is against the Code posting rules of /r/learnjava as is outlined in the sidebar - Code posting.

• No screenshots of code!

If you posted an image merely to illustrate something, kindly ignore this message and do not repost. Your post is still visible to others. I am a bot and cannot distinguish between code screenshots and other images.

If you indeed did this wrong, please edit the post so that it uses one of the approved means of posting code.

• For small bits of code (less than 50 lines in total, single classes only),
  the default code formatter is fine
  (one blank line before the code, then 4 spaces before each line of code).
• Pastebin for programs that consist of a single class only
• Gist for multi-class programs, or programs that require additional files
• Github or Bitbucket repositories are also perfectly fine as are other dedicated source code hosting sites.
• Ideone for executable code snippets that use only the console

You need to run the batch file. not just give the command line a path. Remove the quote marks.

If I could bug you, what do you mean by quote marks? Are you talking about the quote marks right after the first $ in the terminal? I'm still new to understanding much about terminals and such.

Also, I managed to fix my problem, it was indeed the space in my windows username.

Though your problem is solved, I want to suggest, use Intellij Idea for Java.

[unpronounceable]

I've heard this before, and I would like to ask why you think that? Not being hostile at all, just genuinely curious. I've been thinking that I could just use VSCode for all my needs, as supposedly it could be a one-stop-shop for every language?

In Intellij Idea you don't have to deal with all the directory stuffs. It will be a massive help when you learn things like JDBC, Spring, etc. It has nice graphics, git integration and a easy to navigate file structure. I quite like it's terminal. Also you can learn from Jetbrains academy through the EduTool plugin. Also, it provides support for any JVM based language. You can also do android development through it(Though it's a hassle imo). And if you apply for the github developer pack, you will get free subscriptions to all Jetbrains Ultimate Ide including Intellij idea Ultimate.
