Public means that this Method will be accessible by any Class(If other Classes are able to access this Class.) main( ) must be declared as public, since it must be called by code outside of its class when the program is started. Why Static ? The keyword static allows main( ) to be called without having to instantiate a particular instance of the class. This is necessary since main( ) is called by the Java interpreter before any objects are made Why void ? The keyword void simply tells the compiler that main( ) does not return a value. What does String args[] do? String args[ ] declares a parameter named args, which is an array of instances of the class String. (Arrays are collections of similar objects.) Objects of type String store character strings. In this case, args receives any command-line arguments present when the program is executed. */ //Main Method public static void main(String args []){ //inside the method we write all the code that we want to be executed when we run the program System.out.println("Welcome, Navjot"); } }
