Please verify the following points:

  1. Did you save the file before running? To save click the buttons: CTRL+S

  2. Did you type "javac Introductions.java" in the Console followed by typing "java Introductions"

If none of this works, can you post here what appears in the Console after you try to run it (with the intrictions in point 2.)?

Thank you, Jessica. Your Post helped me to solve my problem that was happening because I haven't saved the file before running.

I had the same problem. Make sure to save the console.printf command in workspace, i.e. the text editor, before running javac in the console.

PS. I noticed that Introductions.class was not listed in the file tree in the workspace uploaded from the video link, instead choose the link beneath the course description, which did have it in the file tree.
