Reg. public.static.void.main()

Posted by Vamsi Sudha on January 17, 2001 at 5:47 AM

I have a question reg. public.static.void.main().

main() method should be declared as static as we are accessing the
method before instantiating.

Then static methods can access only static methods and static
variables as per Java rules.

How is it possible for the public.static.void.main()
to access non-static methods and variables ???
I am a beginner and any help in this regard would be thankful.

Regards,
Vamsi Sudha.
