    Unhappy Class world is public?

    so I have just gotten started with java programming.. and I have been following a guy on youtube, (thejavahub) and have downloaded netbeans & JDK, well, ive followed his programming while he does it on screen, but my code keeps coming up with the error "Class world is public, should be declared in a file named World.java" EVERY time I put in "public class world {" it keeps yelling at me for the word "world" and I cannot figure out what I was doing wrong, I have rewritten the script over and over, to make sure im following the youtuber's EXACT words.. then I gave up, & the next day I logged onto netbeans, and found an example of coding, so I went into it... and their example was broken with the EXACT same thing.. "Class world is public, should be declared in a file named World.java" in it was in their EXAMPLE coding! so it doesn't make any sense, ill put the example coding in and ill you can tell me what you guys think, any feedback would be EXTREMELY appreciated! thank you.

    Default Re: Class world is public?

    Java and Java programmers are case sensitive. The public class World should begin with a capital 'W' and should be in a file named World.java, also beginning with a capital 'W'.
