Question about files, or tabs, don't know exactly what to call them.

So if I missed this in the series , please forgive.

I think the purpose is to keep things more organized.

Why do we have three different files in our hangman project ?

Hangman.Java -Prompter.Java-Game.java

If I were writing this same program in notepad how would I do it ?

What about eclipse ?

I know they are different classes but why don't I have to compile all three ?

Thanks in advance for the feedback I know it will be wonderful !
