I keep getting an error that says ‘Main.java:11: error: class Admit is public, should be declared in a file named Admit.java
public class Admit {‘

Answer 1

Just follow the example Java code: http://ideone.com/samples#sample_lang_10

Change “public class Admit {” to “public class Main {“

Your app probably won’t work tho, as it looks like you use the

    Scanner userInput = new Scanner(System.in);

to receive keyboard input, and the ideone.com only accepts STDIN, which may not be supported by Scanner.

Case in point, when I run the modified code, I get the following error:

Exception in thread "main" java.util.NoSuchElementException
