Hi there

You create a class and include a main for an application. Check on your
code. It should state as
public class a
{
	public static void main(String args[])
	{
		// Do something
	}
}

well this is very simple ... this is because of the
key word static . what actually happens is that when
the runtime environment execute this block it first
calls and run the static functions or give space to
static variables.
this is why you get this output even though this is an
incomplet java programme....
