=========
class Test {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Test t = new Test();
t.Test();
}
Test() {System.out.println("Testing...");}}
=========

I would think this would be a compiler error, since Test() is not a method, it is a constructor and the class Test does not have a method declared named Test().
Is this the case?

Hi,
It will not compile.Will show compilation error "cannot resolve symbol"
since Test() is a constructor not a method.
Thanks

Hi guys,
Since the method cannot have the same name as that of the class ,this would surely give a compilation error..

If that were a in small case..case insensitive ..this would compile sure..

Hi All,
The code will surely give compile time error as method Test() does not exists.
But we can have a method name same as class name.
In the above example, Test() is a constructor, but if we have return type mentioned then this becomes a method and code compiles and runs fine.
Check the code below::

This compiles and the output displayed at run time is :

Having method name same as class name is not recommended but the code compiles and runs.

Thanks,
Cody.

Hi Raja Sagar

If you mean to say 'test' is a method then you should declare a return type. In this case it is 'void'.
