They're files, not folders. And you do this for organization reasons. You can have all your classes in one file, but it would get very long and confusing.

its orgaisation^^ in the real world u dont want 1 big ass code u want many small pieces that puzzle together in a programm :) its easyier to maintain^^ all of the dispenser is defined in PezDispenser.java while Example.java is exposed to the user of the programm

lets say u make a game^^

one file will be stitching together the user can do then u have Inventory.java that sets stuff like MAX_WEIGHT MAX_SLOTS etc. u dont want this to be changed by the user and if u ever gonna tweak the values u dont have to search for it^^
