kamran.cs
Compiler Error
The signature also includes modifiers like static etc. It just proves the importance of the function Main and the way it has been defined.
kamran.cs
Compiler Error
The error proves the point that you cannot have two different classes, zzz and yyy, containing Main. Only one occurrence of Main is allowed. You always have only one chance of a lifetime. Ditto with Main.
kamran.cs
Output
The access modifiers are not included within the signature for Main. Even though Main is made private, it is considered as an entry point function, hence hell gets displayed. This function is unique and works as a special case.
class zzz
{
public void Main()
{
}
}
Compiler Error
error CS5001: Program 'kamran.exe' does not have an entry
