The main method can be declared as either of the below: public static void main(String[] args)
or public static void main(String args[])
The driver class is often the class that contains the "Main" method.
Main method in java is always static as main method id the only method from where the program execution starts,and as we all know that main method is defined inside a class so JVM needs to make a object of the class to call the method and objects are build inside the main method ,so to execute the main method it has to make objects of the class but objects are build inside main method so that's the reason that main method is static so that JVM can execute the main method without making its object as static members can be called by class anme only
You cannot do that. The main method of a java class is the point where the execution begins. You can print messages only after a main method is invoked.
You can not overwrite a static method in Java,and 'main' is a static method.so,you can't overwrite the 'main'.
Because, the main method is the starting point of the java program and if we need an object of that class even before the main can be invoked, it is not possible. Hence it is declared static so that the JVM Can acess the main method without having to instantiate that particular class
I assume the question is about Java. How you call a method from inside the main method depends on whether this is an instance method or a static method. To call an instance method, you need to have a valid instance. Say foo is an instance of class Foo, which was created inside the main method. Then to call the instance method implode() use foo.implode() To call the static method bar() of class Foo, use Foo.bar().
Yes. Every Java class can have a main method
Theoretically yes. You will use only one main method for your whole java application and hence such a situation will not come up in real life. Imagine: You have a main in class A and one more in class B which extends class A. When you try to run the class B, only that main method will be executed and not the main in class A. So this override is irrelevant and we cannot call class A's main method at all
We can't call a class. We always call a method in java.
static method Main() of the start object/class.There are 4 different signatures of Main():static void Main();static int Man();static void Main(string[] args);static int Main(string[] args);The starting object/class can have only one of them. Other classes or objects may have Main() method as well. (But why would be the question, Main() is NOT a good OO method name anyway. Method name should be a verb or start with a verb)
no
The driver class is often the class that contains the "Main" method.
The main method is the first method, which the Java Virtual Machine executes. When you execute a class with the Java interpreter, the runtime system starts by calling the class's main() method. Themain() method then calls all the other methods required to run your application. It can be said that the main method is the entry point in the Java program and java program can't run without this method.The signature of main() method looks like this:public static void main(String args[])The method signature for the main() method contains three modifiers:public indicates that the main() method can be called by any object.static indicates that the main() method is a class method.void indicates that the main() method has no return value.
Practically speaking, there is no advantage in overloading the main method because, eitherways the main method of the current class only gets executed and not any of the parent classes, the current class might extend.
Nothing will happen. There is no restriction that every Java class must have a main method. The only program is that, this class cannot be executed as a standalone java program.
Yes, you can very well overload the main method but, the main method that would get invoked by the JVM when you try to run this class would be the main method that has the below signature: public static void main(String[] args) { ... } All other main methods would be accepted by the Compiler but only the above method would get called when you run the class
No, all classes MUST have a main method.
