Can you write a valid Java program to print out "Hello" on the standard output without using a single semi-colon in the source code? When Srikanth asked me this question, my immediate and disingenious response was to hide the semi-colon using a Unicode escape sequence like this:
public class Sriki { public static void main( String[] args) { System.out.println("Hello")\u003b } } However, he has a better solution: public class Sriki { public static void main( String[] args) throws Exception { if( System.out.getClass( ).getMethod( "println", new Class[] { String.class}).invoke( System.out, new Object[] { "Hello"}) == null) { } } } Can you come up with a better solution?
