More error messages than I care to type

Question

Im going over the Java tutorials and I came to this bit of code and when I tried to compile it I got back 100 error messages, most said:
classArrayDemo.java:9: illegal character: \0
int[ ] anArray;
d e c l a r e s a n a r r a y o f i n t e g e r s
says that about 50 times then the java:9 changes to java:13 for about 50
So what I did, and don't forget Im only about 3 days into programming, was to complile it I typed: javac classArrayDemo then the errors came.
Question: should this program work like the "HelloWorldApp" did?

Answer 1

Sorry, guess it would have helped if I showed you what I was coding. It was late.
class ArrayDemo {
public static void main(String[] args) {
int[] anArray; // declares an array of integers
anArray = new int[10]; // allocates memory for 10 integers
anArray[0] = 100; // initialize first element
anArray[1] = 200; // initialize second element
anArray[2] = 300; // etc.
anArray[3] = 400;
anArray[4] = 500;
anArray[5] = 600;
anArray[6] = 700;
anArray[7] = 800;
anArray[8] = 900;
anArray[9] = 1000;
System.out.println("Element at index 0: " + anArray[0]);
System.out.println("Element at index 1: " + anArray[1]);
System.out.println("Element at index 2: " + anArray[2]);
System.out.println("Element at index 3: " + anArray[3]);
System.out.println("Element at index 4: " + anArray[4]);
System.out.println("Element at index 5: " + anArray[5]);
System.out.println("Element at index 6: " + anArray[6]);
System.out.println("Element at index 7: " + anArray[7]);
System.out.println("Element at index 8: " + anArray[8]);
System.out.println("Element at index 9: " + anArray[9]);
