Where am I typing the answer?

I tried typing in the black space next to name.java, but it doesn't show up. There is no name.java in my Workspace. Where do I type please?

Right below the Name.java label there should be a large text input box that looks similar to the one found in your workspace except that it has a dark background.

The bar that Name.java exists on is used to show file names, in some future challenges there will be multiple files present so you can change between them by pressing their name on that bar.

Thank you. Once I clicked in that space, line numbers appeared. Perhaps they were there all along. My eyesight isn't very good. Now I see what you mean. Where name.java is, that's supposed to be a file tab. Treehouse needs a better explanation on that page. Thanks again.
