Sybex CSG 17 - Chapter 6 - page 282 - Applying Class Access Modifiers

[Ilenia Salvadori]

Hi!
In Chapter 6, page 282, in the first paragraph of "Applying Class Access Modifiers" it says:

Also remember that a .java file can have at most one top-level class.

I think what the authors meant to say is that at most one "PUBLIC" top-level class is allowed in a .java file. In principle you can have as many top-level classes as you want in a single file, like in the example that follows in which they defined:

 
// Bear.java
class Bird{}
class Bear{}
class Fish{}

Am I right?

Thanks,
Cheers,
Ilenia

Yes, you are correct.

Confirmed and added to the errata crediting you. And as you noted, we have an example of three top level classes with packages access in the very next paragraph!
