what is purpose of writting public static void main(Strind arg[]) in java..? ..

Answer / sahithi

Main method is entry point of our program.It is the method
executed when we run java program.

The method is "public" becozit should be accesible to jvm
to begin execution of program.

It is "static" becoz it should be available for execution
without an object instance..

String args[] are used to signify that user may pass
parameters to java prgm in commandline

what is purpose of writting public static void main(Strind arg[]) in java..? ..

Answer / jyotshna pardhia

public: to call by jvm from anywhere.(i.e. suppose ur
programms are saved in d drive and jdk is installed in e
drive so we can call by jvm from any drive )
static: without creating objects also jvm has to call this
method.
void: main() method never returns anything to jvm.
main: name of this method which is configured as main
only,inside the jvm by sun.
String []args: command line arguments.

if we are performing any changes to this main method than
we will get run time exception but still we can add
identifiers like strictfp and synchronized to main method.

Thanks & Regards

Answer / chandrakala

without placing "public",the program cannot be
executed..static is used becoz JVM's first priority will be
always given to static itself..so that without depending on
the object,we must execute the program.void main it used becoz
it wont allow returning any value.
