Hi
I am new in this forums. I am also innovice in java. Plese help me about the following simple question.
Why java class name and the file name be the same?

First of all, it only has to be the same when the class is public. And there is no explicit reason for that, it's just a convention that came along with old versions of java and people got used to it... They say it's because of the limited capabilities of the compiler to compile dependencies.
