Regarding Default access modifier

Hi All,

There is a rule saying that...there must be one public class per source file and the file name must match with the class name.

What about having a class with default access level?I have a file having only one class (same as the file name) with default access level.It is working fine...

My question is...With default access, a class can be accessed inside the same package, but not from outside.Then..How come JVM is able to run that class?

What am I thinking is correct? or Am I going wrong?

Can anybody make it clear?

Thanks

I think you have misinterpreted. You can have at most one public class per file. If one class is public then all others cannot be public.
