I have Created the two fi les:
■ C:\temp\packagea\ClassA.java
■ C:\temp\packageb\ClassB.java
-------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------

---------------------------------
Then type this command:
cd C:\temp
and then I compile code using
javac packagea/ClassA.java packageb/ClassB.java
but when i am trying to execute using following command
java packagea.ClassA
it gives error like COULD NOT FIND OR LOAD MAIN CLASS.
My question is command to execute which is mentioned above is correct or why it gives such error ?can anybody explain?

In Java, you must declare a public class to compile and run a program. To start the main class that you have, you must declare it public because the compiler requires it. It is a fundamental rule to follow.

If you don't have a package statement, then you can't use the syntax packagea.ClassA syntax. So add this to ClassA:

No, you cannot do that. If you do not declare the class to be part of a package, it is not part of a package. If you look carefully at page 14 you will find the package-declaration.

Welcome to the Ranch

Please in future use code tags; I'll add them just this once, and add indentation and you can see how much better it looks

I just can't understand what Alberto meant?(whether if he will care to elaborate more)

The problem I can see with your code is :
You are not having package statement. Include it,first
