Question

I have two classes, Parent and Child. The code for the classes are like this:

Parent.class

package test;
import java.util.*;

public class Parent {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Child child = new Child();
    }
}

Child.class

package test;
import java.util.*;

public class Child {
    public Child() {
        System.out.println("A Child object has been created");
    }
}

I put both classes in a directory named “test”. I can compile Child.java without any problem but I cant Compile Parent Class. It says that it cannot find the child class. What is the problem?

Answer 1

I guess you execute the command in a error place. If you put the code in d:/test/, you should
execute your command under the directory d:/.

So, if you change your directory to d:, you can do the right things.
javac test\Child.java
javac test\Parent.java

java test.Parent

You will get what you want..
