Is it right that if the java file are in the same folder you could easily access between them and not use "extends"?

Craig in the video access the characterName without anything. System.out.printf("The dispenser is %s %n", dispenser.characterName); while the variable characterName is in PezDispenser.java.

to use the String of PezDispenser.java class u need to create the object of that class(Pez....); for example java have Stack class (with many method in it like add(),pop()) to access them u need to import that class(Stack) and make its Object and use that class features. but if the folder of file is same then no need to import it. extend is different thing. when u want your class have some same feature that other class have u will extend it (mean ur new class will have sane feature (override is case))

imagine class1 as a remote1 class 2 as a remote2

to use features of button on remote1/remote2 u have to create object of remote1/remote2 but if u want remote2 to have some feature(buttons) of remote1 on it ,u will extend remote1 to remote2

hope this help
