Can we overload the main method or constructor?

Question

Accepted Answer

Yes, we can overload the main method and constructor in Java.

Overloading means having multiple methods or constructors with the same name but different parameters.
In the case of the main method, we can have multiple main methods with different parameter lists.
For example, we can have a main method with the signature 'public static void main(String[] args)' and another with 'public static void main(String arg)'
Similarly, constructors can also be overloaded by having different parameter lists.
For example, a class can have multiple constructors with different parameter combinations.

Accepted Answer

Yes, we can overload the main method in Java, but When we execute the class JVM starts execution with public static void main(String[] args) method.
