A forward declaration. However forward declarations can only be used when the class is used as a pointer or reference prior to its definition, otherwise it must be defined before it is used.
class A; // forward declaration
class B {
A& data; // reference to class that has yet to be defined
};
class A {}; // definition
use this statement:
class specific_class;
Yes. There is no specific order in which the compiler expects methods to be present. As long as the method is inside the class it is perfectly fine.
It depends on how the class is declared.If the class is a normal class - Then the compiler will complain. All the methods in an interface must be implemented by the class to successfully compile the classIf the class is declared as abstract - Then the compiler will ignore the fact that a few methods are not implemented
Nothing happens. The compiler successfully compiles the class. When a class does not have a specific constructor, the compiler places a default no argument construtor in the class and allows you to compile and execute the class. public class Test { } and public class Test { public Test(){ } } are one and the same.
Java has both a compiled and an interpreted stage.1) The programmer writes his source codes (.java extension); a compiler will compile this to bytecode (.class extension).2) When the end-user runs the .class program, the JVM (Java Virtual Machine) will interpret this.
The java interpreter or JVM (Java Virtual Machine) is not able to execute the java source code for a program. The java source code first needs to be compiled into bytecode that can be processed by JVM. Producing bytecode make the program platform independent as each platform has its own JVM. It is also possible to directly write bytecode, bypassing the need to compile, but that would be tedious job and also not good for security purpose as the compiler checks for various errors in a program.

When any constructor is deffined in your class, the java compiler create a default no argument constructor for you. This constructor only have an invocation to the super class constructor (" super( ) ").

A final variable cannot have its value changed. It is used to define a constant. Assigning a value to a final variable after it is declared will cause a compiler error. A final class cannot be sub-classed. It is used to prevent rogue programmers from sub-classing your classes and changing their behavior. Trying to extend a final class will cause a compiler error.
according to my knowledge it is no a main can have multiple classes but a class cannot have multiple mains...main indicates the beginning of a program and if we have n number of mains then the compiler will show an error in all the main program that we write
What i know is java we will use compiler when it want to get class file(file with .class extension) from java file(file with .java extension).
Due to platform independence, a Java compiler will interpret Java source code into Java Byte Code and pass to the JVM, which will pass machine understandable code through to cpu. (clarification needed).A conventional compiler converts source code directly to machine code.(clarification needed).
