# Can we overload the main() method in java ?

Yes, we can overload the main method in java ,but we need to provide different input parameter.But JVM wil start executing the method having String[] args as parameterFor Example,\

```
  public class OverLoadMain {         public static void main(int [] ar) {              System.out.println(" Overloaded Main");          }        public static void main(String [] args) {              System.out.println(" Main Methods");          }}
```
