class name comparison with file name

[siva krishnan]

Hi,
I typed the below code in a file called test.java
class x
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
System.out.println("In Main");
}
}

No Errors occurred during compilation and indeed a class (x.class) was created.
Error was reported only during runtime
(java test).
Isn't the check for (NAME OF JAVA FILE SHUD MATCH CLASS NAME) done during compilation??
(When I made it public class x with the rest of the code same, it gave compilation error saying that x shud be stored in a file x.java )

If the class within the file is declared public then the file name MUST be the same as the class name, otherwise you are free to name your file as you see fit
