When you set the class path did you add a >;< at the end? On my PC it must have that even though I never seen instructions say that. If you don't have the patience in getting java to work you will never have the Patience to program. Programming is basically problem solving skills, and installing java can be also.
Also you need to learn the write out your solution before attempting to actually programming the problem. I'm not saying it is necessary, but most good programmer use pseudo-code and desk check their algorithms before attempting the programming task;unless its super ultra simple. The math maybe beyond your scope and putting it on paper is the easiest way to see so.
