Jump to PostYou can view a .class file like any other file: By opening it. Use whatever program you want to open it. But don't expect to see anything. Here is a sample of what a .class file looks like when I used PSPad:

As you can see it is binary code. Actually what you see is hex code (0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,A,B, C,D,E,F) because this is how PSPad displays it, but in reality it is binary

read your classnotes again, and check what a .class file actually is.
it's just the compiled version of your .java file
if you know how to read, edit and run your .java files, you know all you need to know about that.
in order to run: java MyApplication.java
