Blocks, statements, class declaration in java

Question

I cannot find an answer online so i need help, i was wondering if Class class{ *insert code here*} is considered a statement and also at the start of the curly braces to the last, is that considered a block?.

no, it's considered a class (well, if you replace Class by class, and class by something that is allowed as class name) — Stultuske, Feb 29 '16 at 12:20
thanks so much for replying, what about inbetween the braces? would that be called a block? because i know control structures ARE considered as statements and blocks — TheSilence17, Feb 29 '16 at 12:23
yes im sorry i realize class needed to be a name of a class and not the keyword and "Class" needed to be "class". — TheSilence17, Feb 29 '16 at 12:43

first curly braces are always contain body of class. if you want to declare blocks inside class then again create curly braces in your class.

so it is not considered a block if its for the class, but if i use another pair of curly braces inside it would be? – TheSilence17 Feb 29 '16 at 12:25
yes. another pair will be your block that will call at the time of object creation. – Musaddique S Feb 29 '16 at 12:27
what about the main method? would that be considered a block? – TheSilence17 Feb 29 '16 at 12:32
boss. it's a method. if you are asking about main method why don't you ask about other method. method are function with method body inside braces. – Musaddique S Feb 29 '16 at 13:56

since java is a case-sensitive so there is no any Class keyword class MyTestClass{} would be java class, not statement.

you could say System.out.println(0); is statement and if(something==somethings){} is the if block but these both must be inside java class

i only have a 11 rep, i need 15 to vote up. And what about the main method? can those curly braces be considered a block and a statement? – TheSilence17 Feb 29 '16 at 12:41
Still you dont understand difference between block and statement ? – Mohsin AR Feb 29 '16 at 16:13
i do understand the difference before the curly braces, the actual line of code for the main method... what is that called? a statement? a method invocation? both? – TheSilence17 Mar 01 '16 at 08:31
