“enum” in java , can't get this program to compile, Shows error [closed]

Question

Sorry guys i know this seems to be a complete newbie question , but i am new. I'm following online tutorials in java about "enum" And when ever i copy and paste any enum example in "eclipse",

i get this error:

"This public type enumTest must be defined in its own file"

I have tried many examples and all show this same error, what am i doing wrong ?

Answer 1

This question is off-topic, but I'll answer it and maybe it will be migrated to StackOverflow.

what am I doing wrong?

Exactly what the error message says:

In Java, every type has to be defined in its own file. So you need to put your enum into a new file with the name enumTest.java.
