Can a method have the same name as the class?
Yes, you can write a method in Java with method name same as class name. But it is not suggestable because of the following reasons −
- Using upper case letter at the starting of the name of the method violates the coding conventions of Java for writing a methods name.
- There is a chance of assuming such methods with constructors of the class.
Example
public class Sample {
public void Sample(){
System.out.println("This is a sample method");
}
public static void main(String args[]){
Sample obj = new Sample();
obj.Sample();
}
}
Output
This is a sample method
