Example & Tutorial understanding programming in easy ways.

Can we overload main() method?

Yes, by method overloading. You can have any number of main methods in a class by method overloading. Let's see the simple example:

class test{

public static void main(int x){

System.out.println(x);

}

public static void main(String args[]){

System.out.println("main() method call");

main(20);

} }

output:main() method call

                  20
