Why i am not getting an error while having same name for class and method in java??

Question

I tried this and the code compiled successfully!!
How's this possible in Java? whereas in c# I got an error!!
class MyClass {
static void MyClass ()
{
System.out.println("2");
}
public static void main(String[ ] args)
{
MyClass.MyClass ();
}
}

Answer 1

actually u made a constructor..

Answer 2

@Meharban: you are wrong, it is not a constructor, it is a static class method.

@Anusha: in Java a method can has the same name as class has.

Answer 3

OMG Meharban, don't speak stupid please :(

Do you see "new" in Anusha's question? Do you see "static void" before MyClass? Do you know what do they mean?

Answer 7

of course, it works.. but, don't you think that you're violating Java's name convention..?? only constructor can have same same as class... mean, a upper case starting letter n method to be an lower case..?

constructor is non-static and implicitly void return type. the one you created is a separate method which could face no problem, mostly.. but still some compilers warn saying that name is same as a constructors.

As long as the complete signatures are different Java allows same name for different methods/constructors.
