When i try to compile Contact.java, I get ppublic class Contact extends Person at compile time. The source does not include ppublic. i’m not wure where this behavior is coming from, as it maybe in a cache somewhere, because I did have a file named like this from a typo, which I deleted.

i tried to re-instll java 17 for mac and I was hoping the issue would correct; but it did not. Th relult ws the same error. Contact.java:1: error: class, interface, enum, or record expected
ppublic class Contact extends Person {
