java

Hi friend,

We have

* public: The method can be accessed outside the class / package
* static: You need not have an instance of the class to access the method
* void: Your application need not return a value, as the JVM launcher would return the value when it exits
* main(): This is the entry point for the application

If the main() was not static, you would require an instance of the class in order to execute the method.
If this is the case, what would create the instance of the class? What if your class did not have a public constructor?

Hi friend,

Static block will execute when ever execution starts, it
means this block executes first of all, where as static
block have to call seperately and also it can call with out
object instance.


Static Block is executed when the Program starts.

Example :

public class StaticExample {

static{
System.out.println("Hello");
}

public static void main(String args[]){

}
}

When we run this program it will print Hello.

Static Methods are executed when those methods are called
from another static class or method

Example :

public class StaticExample {

static void printString(){
System.out.println("Hello");
}

static void testStaticMethod(){
printString();
}

public static void main(String args[]){
testStaticMethod();
}
}

static block is used to initialize the variables during the
JVM startup.
static methods are getting called with out creation of any
instance.

A STATIC block is automatically executed the first time the class where it is defined is called.
A Static Method is excuted only when a static call is made to this method.

You can not do that because main method should be directly available to JVM., Its not a method is a thread. So for that we need context of the class. So we r giving instruct to jvm as putting static infront of main(). For a class we must need a context. without creating context we can not execute a program. So for that either we need a main() or a static block.
