public static void main()

[Nilanjan Sahu]

i read in many reputed books and also seen that a static function cal call only static members but in java public static void main() can call all functions. How?

[fred rosenberger]

a static method can only access static members... or constructors. Once you construct the object, you can call it's non-static methods. a common idiom you'll see is

public class SomeClass {
public static void main(String args[]) {
SomeClass myInstance = new SomeClass();
myInstanct.callAMethod();
}
public void callAMethod(){
//do something
}

}
