Answer / kumaresan.r

Hai,
When you compile program it will run with out error,bt it
did not show the value of high,low,underflow.it just show that

"Main method not public.

Process completed.".

So we cant say that this is an output.

Answer / surendar

hi, Pranav Kumar.
"MAIN METHOD NOT PUBLIC" it isn't output.
When u compile the programe, compiler checks only the syntax errors, variable defination, method prototype etc.
So here compiler doesn't check method prototype weather method
is public or private.
But JVM checks, so to be called by the JVM that method must be public.
