Running Java Program

Dear Friends
I am new to Java
A Strange Doubt.
Can I run my java program like this...
java HelloWorld.class
My HelloWorld program is like this
class HelloWorld
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
System.out.println("Hello World ");
}
};
After Compiling ...Can i Run the program as like
java HelloWorld.class ?
If anyone having idea...Please participate in this discussion.
Thanks in advance
Yours
Rajesh

ofcourse you can.
just without the .class
use:
java Hello

oops.
java HelloWorld

Dear Roy Ben Ami,

nope. you need to drop the .class
when you run the java.exe file it expects to find .class files so you cant specify the .class at the end.
why do u want to use .class at the end?
just run like this:
java HelloWorld

This is the right code
public class Salman
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
System.out.println("Hello World");
}
}
First save as this program Salman.java
Then compile it using javac Salman.java
and then run by using java Salman
