Hay I have a question. How does the interpreter find the class?

There are some base search directories. The class loader searches for the classes in those directories and their subdirectories, according to a simple key. It takes the package of the class, say solitaire.cards. The class itself is called CardStack. Given that the CLASSPATH argument or environment variable are set it takes every path from there + the current path and tries
basepath\solitaire\cards\CardStack.class
for every path. If it doesn't find any file that fits it throws a ClassDefNotFoundError.
