public class in a file question .

Hello Pals

I have read that

" The name of a file should be same as that of the public class in a file, if any "

I just want to know why ???

Thanks

Please SearchFirst. This question has been asked many, many times before.

I think almost every question have been answered , if one has to search for everything then it is not more a forum, it would be like google search.
After all , my same question would give some newcomer to answer it and enforces his/her learning. This is what a benefit of forum is at the first place.

Regards

Of course, for such questions Google search (or a forum search) is far more efficient than posting to a forum. You'll find an answer much quicker that way.

It's not a very helpful question to give a newcomer anyway, because the answer is simply "the designers of the language decided to do it that way". They could have decided to make it work another way, but they didn't. it has the advantage that for any given public class, it's very easy to identify which file it's in.
