How to add a material to a single face?

Question

Whenever I assign a material to the selected faces of a cube, it paints the entire cube. I've seen questions like this, and I've done everything they say to do in the comments, yet nothing seems to work.

You only have one material for your object, therefore the whole object gets the material. Add at least one more material. — bertmoog, Sep 09 '17 at 18:00
Add two materials, then assign both materials to different parts of the mesh. — SilverRain, Sep 09 '17 at 21:16

be sure that you have two materials not just one – Shams M.Monem Sep 09 '17 at 17:52
Well, did you assign the other faces to a different material? – SilverRain Sep 09 '17 at 20:37
No,when making material for first time blender apply it to the whole mesh so it doesn't need to apply other faces to the other material, but you can make it it isn't wrong – Shams M.Monem Sep 10 '17 at 09:14
you must select the other faces and the other material and then assign them . – Shams M.Monem Sep 10 '17 at 09:17
