Create a folder called GBook and store the following two files in there.
// Fig. 3.1: GradeBook.java
// Class declaration with one method.
public class GradeBook
{
// display a welcome message to the GradeBook user
public void displayMessage()
{
System.out.println( "Welcome to the Grade Book!" );
} // end method displayMessage
} // end class GradeBook
// Fig. 3.2: GradeBookTest.java
// Creating a GradeBook object and calling its displayMessage method.
public class GradeBookTest
{
// main method begins program execution
public static void main( String[] args )
{
// create a GradeBook object and assign it to myGradeBook
GradeBook myGradeBook = new GradeBook();
// call myGradeBook's displayMessage method
myGradeBook.displayMessage();
} // end main
} // end class GradeBookTest
You compile both files and run the one having main function. To compile the classes, type the command
javac GradeBook.java GradeBookTest.java
or
javac *.java
