Explanation of 'String args[]' and static in 'public static void main(String[] args)' [duplicate]

Answer 1

To keep beginner attitude you can explain that all the command line is automaticaly splite in a array fo String (the String[]).

For static you have to explain, that it not a field like another : it is unique in the JVM even if you have thousand instances of the class

So main is static, because it is the only way to find it (linked in its own class) in a jar.

... after you look at coding, and your job begin ...

Answer 2

public static void main(string [] args)

public -its the access specifier means from every where we can access it; static -access modifier means we can call this method directly using a class name without creating an object of it; void- its the return type; main- method name string [] args - it accepts only string type of argument... and stores it in a string array
