main and other methods in same file?

[Sam Bluesman]

For argument's sake, say I have 2 methods that do something called Method1() and Method2(). How do i put the main method in the same file at the bottom so that I only need the one file to compile and run? The main method wouldnt actaully do much except allow the compiler to see that a main method was present.

e.g.

Method1()
.
.
.
Method2()
.
.
.

Where would 'main' go and what would it contain?

Cheers

You have to have them within a class definition.

"them" ? Whast is them. I just want to print out Hello!

The methods and main method all have to be within class definitions.

public class Greetings
{
   public void short()
   {
      System.out.println("Hi");
   }
 
   public void long()
   {
      System.out.println("Well hello, how are you today?")
   }
 
   public static void main(String[] args)
   {
      Greetings g = new Greetings();
      g.short();
      g.long();
   }
}

I might be missing the point, but does this help?

class MyClass {
  void method1() {}
  void method2() {}
 
  static void method3() {}
 
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    //instance required to call instance methods...
    MyClass m = new MyClass();
    m.method1();
    m.method2();
 
    //static method can be called without instance...
    method3();
  }
}
