Every Java program requires the
presence of at least one class.
Is the above statement always true ?
解决方案
Yes, you need at least one class to have a program, but no, you do not need any methods (contrary to some other answers).
The reason you need a class is because in Java, all code is inside classes. So to have any code, you need a class. However, code doesn't necessarily need to be in a method. It can also be in initializers. So, here is a complete Java program with no methods:
class LookMaNoMethods {
static {
System.out.println("Hello, world!");
System.exit(0);
}
}
And that gives...
$ javac LookMaNoMethods.java
$ java LookMaNoMethods
Hello, world!
$
EDIT : From Java 7 the above code with just static block and no main method does not produce any output. Main method is now compulsory. The code with no main method compiles successfully though.
