How does the order in which methods appear in a class affect how the application executes? Please explain.

What will be an ideal response?

The order in which methods appear in a class has no bearing on the order in which the methods are called or execute. No matter where you place it, the main() method is always executed first in any Java application, and it might call any other methods in any order and any number of times. The order in which you call methods, not their physical placement, is what makes a difference in how an application executes.
