public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {

new Main();

}
}

This is the simplest class you can have almost. It will just be loaded and end.

If its a thread,. it will end when run() is finished.

that mean i will end by itself?? is there any way for us to end the new operator?

Not quite sure I follow what you mean by end the new operator. Objects in Java - and that means just about everything, cease to exist when they are not referenced by anythin else, so when they go out of scope, they die.

In languages such as C++ there aer *de*structors, which are the opposite of constructors. In Java, you dont need that, because when an object is no longer pointed to (referenced) by any other object, then it is removed from memory by the garbage collector - System.gc() - automatically.

mayankeagle, in fact I was talking to krakatoa :)

Oh.... I thought the "candidate for garbage-collection ". Anyways ;-)

Why a B :-(

zzynx

Yeah, I also wonder...
Sometimes people think that the grades relate for the difficulty of the question.
But that isn't the case. If the answer is good an to the point it deserves an A.

Anyway, thanks for accepting.

Yeah, it also makes no difference to the questioner as they only spend as many question-points as they allocated to the question. Some closing help here:
