What is the use of static keyword in "public static void main()"..

Answer / rasool

The public keyword is an access specifier, which allows the
programmer to control the visibility of class members. When
a class member is preceded by public, then that member may
be accessed by code outside the class in which it is
declared.In this case, main( ) must be declared as public,
since it must be called by code outside of its class when
the program is started. The keyword static allows main( ) to
be called without having to instantiate a particular
instance of the class.
