What happens if I declare main method as private in Java?

Question

Javed Khan · Answer

Your main will become like any other private method.
Since it is private it cannot be invoked and hence the application cannot be called.

Zabeer Sultan · Answer

Only the main method which is public can be invoked by the JVM.
So a private main method will be treated as any other method which eventually needs to be invoked from a public main method.
