Answer / sai kiran varma

In java main() is a default calling funtion.
first main() function is called.
As we dont no what value it returns we use void keyword for it.
only static methods can be called using class names so we
declare static.
only public methods can be accessed from any where so,we use
public..

Answer / lotus

as compiler needs to enter inside a program to compile so
public is used and static is used to help the main method
to be invoked without an object.

Answer / kanchan bangar

In java if we are not writting public static void main
(String args[]) then program is only compield not run
that's why it must write because compiler in java always
look the main function and when compiler always calls the
main class is loaded in frist time call for that static
keyword is used and public is for access everything means
methods and member variabls of any pakage and classes or in
super class and meand it does not return any value.
