Is there anyway if we can replace main method from c++, or can we override or overload main method???

this question is about c++ programming as we always run c++ program the compiler invokes main method first of all. My question is why we can't replace it with anyother method?

Yes, you can. But to do this you have to change in Visual Studio linker settings!

1) Why would you want to? 2) main is not a method.

Thats how the language works. You cannot replace or override main, but you can do : #define start main int start() { // do stuff you would earlier do in main. } And obviously, you can use C++ to write a new language that does not require this 'main' function at all. Its your wish though, what you want to do.
