Importing my own classes

Question

I have 2 simple classes in the same directory and I'd like to test the use of import to import one class into the other. Upon compilation of the class thats doing the import, I get a compilation error. Herewith the details, where could I be getting it wrong.
****code for class to be imported****
import java.util.Date;
public class printer
public void print()
System.out.println(new Date());
System.out.println("Hello World");
--The above code compiles with no problems.
***Code for the main class that imports the above*****
import printer;
public class myapp
public static void main(String[] args)
(new printer()).print();
-upon compiling the second class above, myapp.java, I get the following errors:
C:\java\source>javac myapp.java
myapp.java:1: '.' expected
import printer;
^
myapp.java:1: ';' expected
import printer;
^
2 errors

Answer 1

Moreover, classes do not need to import any class which is in the same package as their own, and since your printer class is in the default package (if you call that a package) you shouldn't need to import it into myapp anyway
