Only One public class per file restriction ?

[Shaan patil]

Hi folks ,


There is a rule in java which states that
Rule 1.Only one public class per file is allowed.

I tried compiling a file in which I had declared one class as public and other class as dedfault .I got compile error which stated above rule.

What may be the isuue ?

Most likely because you forgot the other half of that rule:

The file has to have the same name as the public class.

If you gave the file the same name as the default class, it won't compile.
