SparkContext class not found error

Question

I am trying to run scala code on spark using intellij.

Scala Code

import scala.collection.JavaConverters._
import org.apache.spark.SparkContext
import org.apache.spark.SparkConf
object WordCount {
  def main(args: Array[String]): Unit = {
    val sc = new SparkContext(new SparkConf().setAppName("anything").setMaster("localhost"))
    println("Hello World!")
  } 
}

I have tried to run the same code on Scala-IDE and it runs FINE. I see the problem might be in intellij editor.

Stuck in this problem for a long time. Any advice would be beneficial.

Thanks in advance.

NOTE- I am running the code on 1.7 JAVA Oracle and 2.10.5 scala SDK.
