Error message, the system couldn't find a suitable main method?

[Diaby does Gallas]

I am trying to run this basic bit of code in JCreator which I have got from thenewboston:

import java.util.Scanner;

class Building a Basic Calculator 7 {
public static void main(String args[]){
Scanner anthony = new Scanner(System.in);
double fnum, snum, answer; //fnum mean first num, snum mean second num
System.out.println("Enter first num: ");
fnum = anthony.nextdouble();
System.out.println("Enter second num: ");
snum = anthony.nextDouble();
answer = fnum + snum;
System.out.println(answer);
}
}


I have done everything that was asked but when I compile the program I get an error saying that a '}' is required on linne 3, and if I try to run the program it just says that the system couldn't find a suitable main method, can you please tell me where I may be going wrong?

First off, please put code-tags around code so whitespace doesn't get squeezed.

The actual problem with that code is that you're trying to create a class name with spaces. That is not allowed. It must be one word.

class BasicCalculator7 {
...

Okay will do and thanks!

Shabba!

Oh, and each java file, should have a public class with the same name as the java file. So you should add public in front of class and save that in a file called "BasicCalculator7.java"

import java.util.Scanner;

public class BasicCalculator7 {
public static void main...
