What is the need to declare main() method as static in Java?..

Answer / shadab alam

static keyword specifies that there is no need of instance
to call static method and it's information is contained by
JVM that calls the static method.That's why we declare main
method as static so that it can be called automaticlly.

What is the need to declare main() method as static in Java?..

Answer / monalisa

public static void main(String[] args) means
public - is the access modifier .if we declare a method as
public means we can access the method out side of the class.
static - It is a key word.If we declare a method as static
then we can call this method with out creating any instance
of that class.Directly we can call it by "CLASSNAME.STATIC
METHOD NAME"
void - It is the return type of the method
main - It is the Method name

What is the need to declare main() method as static in Java?..

Answer / bsridhar1984

main() is the entry point of the java program for JVM. If it
is not static and have to call main method, JVM has to
create the object for that class. At this situation
constructor of that class will be entry point.

So that main() method of that class should be static. Then
only JVM can access the main method directly without
creating object of the program.

Answer / s. devanand

In Java, we call any method and variable without creating an
object of the class. Hence we declare main method as static
without creating an object we call the main method.
