Question

Look at the code below and please help me solve the trick.

class TestTrick{

    public static void main(String args[])
    {

    }

    static marker()
    {

    System.out.println("programe executed");

    }

}

The result required from this program is that the program should print
program executed, meaning that the marker method should be executed. But there are some rules:

1. Nothing should be written in both the methods.
2. No other class can be added to the program.
3. The program must execute the output statement in the marker method.

It’s been three days and I am unable to solve the problem because I am not a Java programmer. I have searched everything on internet to get a clue but I failed. Please
someone help me run this program by strictly following the rules.

Answer 1

I think what they’re looking for is a static initializer.

static {
    marker();
}

This gets run when the class is loaded.
