Question
can i run a program in c without main if yes how?
if no why

Answer
Answer is "NO".
The reason is, main() is a function called by another function, which is the start-routine. This routine is created by the compiler and will be same for all the programs that you write.
If you can write your own compiler, then you can think of changing main() to your name itself!
ANSI compliant compilers need main() as the starting point.
