# How can I execute any program in java without main method?

Hi,

I have a small [problem](https://yourviews.mindstick.com/view/81399/tackling-the-problem-of-unemployment-during-corona-pandemic) [while creating](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/105382/which-constraints-we-can-use-while-creating-a-database-in-sql) [program](https://www.mindstick.com/blog/12337/scaling-up-your-mentorship-program). This might be a silly [question](https://www.mindstick.com/blog/23175/how-to-solve-neet-question-paper-in-less-time) as I am fresher in [JAVA](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/12214/web-development-company-in-india-laid-on-the-foundation-of-concrete-java-programming). I want to ask that\
is it possible to run any program in java which have not main method. Like we can run some program in c and [c++](https://www.mindstick.com/blog/745/array-in-c-plus-plus) which\
doesent have main method. Is it possible in java.

Thanks.

Hi awadhendra,

You can use static block to perform this task and at the end of statements called System.exit(0) to avoid to generate an exception.

```
class MainMethodNot{    static    {        System.out.println("This java program have run without the run method");        System.exit(0);            }}
```

Thanks.
