How much experience coding do you have ? You answered my question, in the manner that tells me how to go about responding - but you need to tell me if you are past the get-going of coding a sample program, compiling it and then running it.
There are later ways of doing this, but what I always do is just place a main() in the class and then run it as a program. To get data out, I usually write to a file to avoid some other issues, but one can put up a Graphical User Interface - which gets distracting if you have not written five or ten programs effectively. It helps if you tell me what editor you are using. This may be an
IDE - Integrated Development Environment, which ususually have editors built in. Sometimes they will run the program you have compiled, but that can become a complexity in it's self.
