 ==== Where does the definition go? ====
+=== The easy-for-beginners way ===
+If there's only one custom class in your program, an easy way to write your program is to incorporate the definition and the program's ''main()'' method.
+<file java ClickerCounter.java>
+tbd
+</file>
+This isn't generally recommended though because very often you will write more than one custom class in your program.
+=== The better way ===
 In Java, class definitions need to go in their own files, and the files need to be called the name of the class with the ''.java'' extension.((There are certain kinds of classes that don't need to be in their own file, but that's something we can't discuss yet.)) I have deliberately not used any comments in the definition so you can more easily see the code.
