class CALCULATEMONTHLYPAYMENT is public, should be declared in a file named CALCULATEMONTHLYPAYMENT.java

What don't you understand about the error message?
A public class "should be declared in a file" with the same name as the classname.


Check your spelling.

Why is the class name in the error message all caps?

Hi Norm,

I am very very new to java and i just dont know what i did wrong to get this error and even without caps i get the same message C:\Users\Alexa baby\Documents\Document1.java:37: class CalculateMonthlyPayment is public, should be declared in a file named CalculateMonthlyPayment.java
public class CalculateMonthlyPayment
^
1 error

Tool completed with exit code 1

Do you know a fix? If u do please advise, thank u

Check again that the filename and the classname are spelled EXACTLY the same way.

What is this:
C:\Users\Alexa baby\Documents\Document1.java:37

That looks like a filename. Is that the filename of the file containing the class you are trying to compile?
Change the filename to be the same as the classname.

Check again that the filename and the classname are spelled EXACTLY the same way.

Yep, and as Norm states in his first post, that they are capitalized EXACTLY the same way.
