Answer 1

Yes it is possible and pretty common.

Answer 2

A variable initialized inside a method is only in scope within that method. (at least in C# programming)

so if i say int x = 1 in the "Main" method, then in another method called "Other" I try to call x or modify it, it wouldn't work because "Other" doesn't see what was made in "Main".

Although this is only what i know from object oriented programming like C#, perhaps it's different in Java.

Answer 3

Variables declared inside a class but outside the main() are called instance variables and the one declared inside main() are called local variables.

You can use any access modifier (public, private protected) for instance variables but you cannot do that for local variables.

Only class variables or I should say static variables or static methods can be accessed inside main() without creating object of that class.

Answer 4

Is I possible to initialise variable and assign value in class
