Initialization of static method when class loads in java
java
Solution
`main()` method is not executed because it's static, it executes because it is the Entry Point for any Java program. If you want something to run, you'll need to call it from the main method. No other methods are automatically called when the class is executed.
Problem
I have a doubt regarding static methods. In the program written below, output will be: `main`. I understand this because `main` is a static method, so when class loads, it executes. If so, the same principle should apply for `met()` also, right? As it is also static. Why does only `main` executes whereas `met()` doesn't when the class loads? ``` public class Test { static void met() { System.out.println("method"); } public static void main(String[] args) { System.out.println("main"); } } ```
