Im'ma Coder R "Can we replace main method with other name" You said perfect answer is here so I assumed you were saying "yes we can replace means we can run without main method" but see your shared link main method is still there. It means we can not run java program without main method. We are just creating duplicate method and calling in main method.

A͢J - S͟o͟l͟o͟H͟e͟l͟p͟e͟r͟ Hi, I didn't really get you "You are calling...." thats exactly what was told in the answer. Moreover there were many answers there so it depends which one you read. And I didn't get which guideline I dishonoured. Could you explain?

Im'ma Coder R That's not a perfect answer. You are calling boot method inside main method so in simple without main method you cannot. And please follow this guidelines: https://www.sololearn.com/discuss/1316935/?ref=app
