DML requires SObject or SObject list type: AccountClass

Here is my apex class
public class AccountClass
{
    public void createAccount(String Name)
    {
        AccountClass acc = new AccountClass();
        acc.Name = 'Test';
        insert acc;
    }
}

I am getting the following error while compiling,
DML requires SObject or SObject list type: AccountClass.

Can anyone help me how to resolve this error also tell me how to execute this class using Developer Console

Hi sai,
You are giving accountclass instead of account.When creating an object record you have create a varibale to type Sobject.Here in your case Account
Try this code. 
public class AccountClass
{
    public void createAccount(String Name)
    {
        Account acc = new Account();
        acc.Name = 'Test';
        insert acc;
    }
}

To execute 
accountClass a = new accountClass();
a.createAccount('testAccount');

Hope this helps you

No need to change class name.You have to change the type of variable which you are creating inside createAccount method. 
public class AccountClass
{
    public void createAccount(String Name)
    {
        Account acc = new Account();
        acc.Name = 'Test';
        insert acc;
    }
}
