I cannot compile a Java class which instance is another Java class

Question

Here’s the thing, I have two classes: Account.java and Program1.java the idea is for the Program1 class to create an Account instance and use it within the program but I’m not able to compile the Program1 class by the prompt (I’m not using IDE).

Java account.:

package generico;

class Conta {
    int numero;
    String titular;
    double saldo;
}

Program1.java:

package generico;

class Programa1{
    public static void main(String args[]){
        Conta minhaConta;
        minhaConta = new Conta();

        minhaConta.titular = "Duke";
        minhaConta.saldo = 1000.0;

        System.out.println("Saldo atual: " + minhaConta.saldo)
    }
}

The following error appears when I try to compile Program1.java:

Programa1.java:5: error: cannot find symbol
                Conta minhaConta;
                ^
  symbol:   class Conta
  location: class Programa1
Programa1.java:6: error: cannot find symbol
                minhaConta = new Conta();
                                 ^
  symbol:   class Conta
  location: class Programa1
2 errors
error: compilation failed

Answer 1

If you are running both classes from the same operating system folder through the command prompt (Windows) or console (linux), you do not need to inform package. Remove package generico that the code works perfectly.
