Answer / sai
public is used so that it can be called easily from outside
the scope of function.Static is used so that it can be
easily called without using its object.

Answer / rana
As we know public means we can access the method from
anywhere.Coming to static:- main() is a static method
therefore it implies that there is no need of creating
Object for that particular class to call this method.So
that when ever u run the program the Jvm will search for
main() in the class even there r no class objects created
for this class.

Answer / ravikiran(aptech mumbai)
public means we are allowing the main method to be accessed
any where in the application.and is declared static because
jvm will look for the static one's once it completes the
loading the class.

Answer / balaji kumar
public - it can be access outside of the(class, package,
subclass and world).
Static- It is used to run a method without any references of
a class. Then JVM will check all the 'static' methods in
"main class" and run the main method from those.
void- main method always has no return value to outside
methods or others. so it uses void keyword.

object. But main() is also method .that main() is there one
class but jVM execute program trough main() method with out

static the main function

Answer / bheemrao
if we don't use public in main method jvm is looked for main
method but does not found.so run time error will occurred
"main() method must be declared as public". why its static
means in java we can execute methods with object.if we use
static it will execute without object.

Answer / shekhar chauhan
public static void main()- firstly, public which r used
globly access this method in our whole progam. and static
basically used for that we can used only one main method in
whole program.we can not create object that class. so we
make static main method.

Answer / saikat chowdhury
'public' keyword is an access specifier.It means you can access anywhere of the program using this specifier.When we use in the main function it can be access outside of the(class, package,subclass.'Static' also a keyword.When we use this in the main function that means you do not need to create the object of static.
