Dude? What's your exact question...

See, Java contains two types of files. One is the source file, which ends in .java and the other is class files, which are compiled files, they end with .class 😀
Is this what you are asking about??? 😐

Aha... You got confused with the extension and stuff... See, there is nothing known to the program as Test.class ok? It is the output file. Its like you are asking in a C Program, when you create a class Test and if you give: 😐
```
cout<<Test.exe<<endl;
```
It is not used inside the code at all!!! 😀

@crazyroshan

1. "class" is a literal in java language. Just like you have string literal say "Hello" representing an instance of class String. similarly "class" literal represents an instance of class "Class"

2. When you specify <classname>.class , then it returns the class name[the one defined by #-Link-Snipped-#] of the particular instance referred.
