public class name{
......}

in this program if we save it by name11.java then it won't works properly that is
if we change the class name with the file name.

yet in case of
class name{.......}
it will run even if the class name is different it works properly.

so please clear this concept.

All public classes have to be in a file with the same name as the class. Classes with other access specifiers can be saved in a file of any name.

I would like to know why all public classes have to be in a same file.
But not for the other class specifiers

Because those are the rules.
