Method call question!!!!

joePC

OK, I want to call this: (The start of the programme)

public static void main(String[] args) {

//code.................

}


I want to call this so it will start @ the beginning of the code e.g. method.main();

Thanks joePC

Main starts at the beginning of code by default.
Unless you are writing applet.

Once you declare a function as " public static void main(string[] args) ", Java Virtual Machine automatically identifies it as the starting/entry point of the class (or to the application, in almost all cases).

As St8_away said, you can have main() in applet as well, but if you launch an applet with appletviewer or from browser, it would basically run init() first, instead of main.

Hence, if you are trying to write hybrid applet-application thingee, you need to call main() from the init() of your program.

Oh, between, www.javaranch.com is an excellent site/forum to start, advance and master Java. Its also the second largest Java website, after java.sun.com of course!
