static method overloading

[Anvi Dixit]

Hi all,
First have a look on the code given below:

public class Main 
{   
static void print(String s)
{  
  System.out.println(s);
 
}  
        public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception 
 
{ 
         Main m = new Main();  
         Main1 m1 = new Main1();  
         m1.print();     
         print("parent");        
         m.print("parent");    
         System.out.println(m1.print());
        }
}
   class Main1 extends Main
  {
        static String print()
       {
              return "Anvi";  
       }   
  }  

While running the code i am getting an Exception
'Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Main/java
Please explain me why this exception is coming.
Thanks
Anvi

You've got more mains in there than a pride of lions.

Show us the java command you are using to run the program. Which program are you running. I think you're running the wrong program.

Cheers!

There is nothing wrong with this program.

It will print:

parent
parent
Anvi


You must be making some mistake in calling it.

Thanks Manu and Kameron

i made the mistake by naming the method as Main and Main1..when i used different names for the methods i got the solution as
parent
parent
Anvi



Thanks

That's correct. Anvi, are you typing the command as "java Main.java" instead of just "java Main"?
