No,it'll not run and it gives compile time error,because main() method is called by JVM(Java Virtual Machine) i.e. outside from ur program unit.so it must be public.

It wont compile because of the following two reasons.

1> First the signature of the main method is wrong. The main method must be public.

2> Secondly the main method must be inside some class. In Java a method cannot persist by itself. It must be a member of some class.

No.... a class keyword is the super of all java programs, so it should start with an external class, and a program to standalone it should have main method inside the superclass class keyword followed by a class name.

This program will not run. It wil give u a compiletime error called - ( 'class' or 'interface' expectedprivate static void main(String args[]) ).

On compile time it will not give any error,because all syntax are correct, but at Run-time it gives an Error like "main method is not public".because jvm acess the main method by outside of the classes so it should be public.

No it won't creat any compile time and Run time exception..... and also it is possible to add Inner class at Method Level.

NO, it will not run because main is private and it should be public in order to run this code.
