Help with input class

[MondKopf]

Hi,
I'm extremely new to java and I'm struggling to understand the role 'class' and 'input'
could someone please explain?
also i tried to compile a basic example program using javac on terminal and it displayed the error message,

Untitled-1.java:6: class input is public, should be declared in a file named input.java
public class input{
^
1 error

what does this mean?

thank you for any help

class is a keyword, for explanation here is a java tutorial What Is a Class? (The Java™ Tutorials > Learning the Java Language > Object-Oriented Programming Concepts)

in your code input is the name of your class and your file as well.

the error is telling you that the name of your class (which is input) is not the same with the name of the file itself, it should be save as input.java

Thanks!
Next problem, when i run the program the console says "exception in thread 'main' "
any advice?

We cannot tell you where is the error with just the error message we need the source code, your code.

import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;


public class input{
public static void main(String args[])
{

Scanner read = new Scanner(System.in);
boolean run = true;
String data = "";
do{
System.out.println("\nLogging Keystrokes...");
data = read.nextLine();
System.out.println(data);
}while(run);


}}
