Description
A couple of students in the 2020 Java Launchcode session had issues with packages while doing the exercises and studios (e.g. they will put their code in package A.B.C.myCode in the folder structure, but their package line in their code says "package myCode;") I see very little of it mentioned in the courseware (right here: https://education.launchcode.org/java-web-development/chapters/data-types/exercises.html#creating-a-package-and-classes) - shouldn't there be a little bigger discussion on it?
Here is a discussion that is pretty good:

Research direction
Start with the courseware page linked in the issue, especially the “Creating a Package and Classes” exercise, and review the referenced GeeksforGeeks discussion for useful coverage. Expand the packaging discussion so the relationship between folder structure and the package declaration is clear, including the reported mismatch; done means the exercise addresses this confusion.
