How to compile and run a Java program with arguments

I'm trying to write a java program which takes in input from the command line but for some reason I keep getting this message;

public class Class {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    String s = args[0];
  }
}

Literally trying to just run the above program for now, and once I can get the input working I can build upon the program to complete my h/w assignment.

I keep getting this message when trying to compile in terminal:

error: Class names, 'test', are only accepted if annotation processing is explicitly requested

Also, this is what I'm writing in terminal javac Filename.java test

sometimes I also use "" so I write javac Filename.java "test"

However, I get the same error. I've found other questions who get the same error but the answer seems to be to add a .java when compiling - but I'm already doing this?

You add the word "test" in the compilation command javac. Try to put javac Filename.java without args and with them when you run your programmjava Filename command.
