Doubt about modifier

public class inheritex
{
int i=5;
}
class inheritex1 extends inheritex
{
int i=3;
static void main(String args[])
{
inheritex1 ex=new inheritex1();
System.out.println(ex.i);
}
}

Here i am getting the error, class inheritex is public and should be declared in a file named inheritex.java
what's wrong in this?
please explain me this....

Thanks

sorry here is the correct code!

public class inheritex
{
int i=5;
}
class inheritex1 extends inheritex
{
int i=3;
public static void main(String args[])
{
inheritex1 ex=new inheritex1();
System.out.println(ex.i);
}
}

Here i am getting the error, class inheritex is public and should be declared in a file name inheritex.java

hi Preetha,

You have not mentioned your file name. What have you given as file name.
check for spelling mistakes.

If you have a Class definition whose access specifier is 'public' , then you must save the file with public class name !

Like In your example , your file name is "inheritex.java" !

For further information , follow this link !

If a class x is declared public it should be saved in the file x.java.otherwise the compiler complains.This restriction is not enforced if both the classes have default access.

thank you all ...
