Hello All, I am a B.tech final year student and working on an online Java Course. We are presently working on building the following instantiation code:
public class NameDriver
{
public static void main (String[] args)
{
//Instantiation
Name myName = new Name("Scott", "David", "Mitchell");
Name myName1 = new Name("David", "Mitchell");
Name myName2 = new Name("Mitchell");
Name noName;
System.out.println("myName: " + myName.toString());
}
}
I am using online java compiler from here and getting this error:
//Constructor Methods
public Name(String f, String m, String l)
{
first = f;
middle = m;
last = l;
}
public Name(String f, String l)
{
first = f;
middle = "";
last = l;
}
public Name(String l)
{
first = "";
middle = "";
last = l;
}
public Name()
{
first = "";
middle = "";
last = "";
}
public String toString()
{
return first + " " + middle + " " + last;
}
}
The result when I execute is the error message “Error: Could not find or load main class”.
The names of the Java files duplicate the name of the Main Class, so that doesn’t seem to be the problem. Can anyone suggest me the right path of this program?

Hi there,
I’m familiar with how this specific online compiler works, but you should be able to just change the class name to
public class Main
and it should work.Regarding what that error means, if your source code name is
NameDriver.java
, your compiled code will beNameDriver.class
rather thanMain.class
.Hope that this helps!
Best,
Bobby
