In Java, can commands exist without methods?

Question

Sounds foolish though but I need to ask, to be rest-assured. Would appreciate your response.

Answer 1

You are using methods when you use

System.out.print( );
&
System.out.println( );

There are two basic types of methods:

 • Build-in methods are part of the compiler package, such as

System.out.println( );
&
System.exit(0);

 • User-defined methods are created by you, the programmer. These methods take-on names that you assign to them and perform tasks that you create.

Raj Chhatrala 👍
Probably, I think so.

Answer 3

I don't actually understand your question.

But what I know is that, in most of the programming languages every statement must be wrapped inside a method or function or maybe a class.
You can not execute anything without using method.

Because most of the programming languages starts with main method.

Answer 4

Danijel Ivanović maybe he means functions(block of code).

Answer 5

I dont really understand the question, but
Maybe you can, check this out.

public class Program
{
static{
System.out.println("surprise ! :D");
}

public static void main(String[] args) {

}
}

Answer 6

Thats a static block
You were asking about command without method right ? My example show that you can execute a block of code with out any method. A static block will run when the class is loaded.
Sorry for not give much explaination :D

Answer 7

Thanks Raj, now I understand that a minimal program must contain at least one class and a function/method.

Answer 8

Taste, you are trying to explain a problem with another problem. Thanks though
