Can we add two main method in a single class have same signature.

[gauraw gupta]

Hi,

Can it possible to add two main method public static void main(String args[]) in a single class.
Also please provide me the some information that a Class and Object are a simple class or abstract class or interface.

Thanks

Have you already tried? If yes, what were the results? And why would you get those results?

You cannot, as it will result in compilation error. The reason being JVM will not know which method to invoke.

can you ever have two methods with the exact same signature, regardless of the name, in a single class? Why would 'main' be any different?

if you did have it in there twice, how would the JVM decide which one to use when it starts?
