Answer / rozer willis
static keyword makes the main function static.And the
advantage to make it static is that it can call other
static methods of the sane class just by their names i.e.no
need to create object.And the static method cant be
override so it prevent the main method from onerriding.

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.

Answer / kiran kumar
here public is access modifier it can run out side of the
class.
static means it is constant.
void means it is no return type.
main() means the program will run from here.
