How to import my own class?

Question

I have this java class :

package myClass;
public class myClass 
{
    private int herAge ;
    public void setHerAge (int herAge)
    {
        this.herAge = herAge ; 
    }
}

and I want to import this class after compile it in another source file called Test.java exists in the same directory , and here what Test.java contains :

import myClass ;
public class Test
{
    public static void main (String []args)
    {
    myClass Rudaina = new myClass();
    Rudaina.setHerAge(30);
    }
}

when I compile Test.java I see this in my console :

Test.java:1: error '.' expected
import myClass ;
              ^
Test.java:1: error '.' expected
import myClass ;
                ^

Answer 1

Your class myClass is also in package called myClass, which can be a cause of confusion.

Try:

import myClass.myClass;

This is called the fully qualified name of the class.

A package is meant to group classes which are conceptually related. Having a package named after a single class is not very useful.

You could name your package after the name of your project. For instance, you could name it

package assignment1;

And then import your class like this:

import assignment1.myClass;

Answer 2

While what everyone wrote is true, since the two files are in the same directory, no import should be necessary.

FYI, it is customary to capitalize the names of classes.
