Basics

Can any one explain the following lines in java programming :

public static void main(String args[])

System.out.println(" ");

Ok

public static void main(String args[]) = the beginning of the main body(front end) of your program.

System.out.print(""); = prints whatever is in between " " to the screen

Code:

---

public static void main(String args[])

---

This is the entry point of any Java class. We called it as main method. (A function defined in a Java class as method) Without a main method you can't run your Java class directly.

Code:

---

System.out.println(" ");

---

Print a line of text(a string in Java) to the console and place the cursor on the next line. If you used print() it's not place the cursor on the next line.

---

public static void main(String args[])

This describes the main method and what the program actually does. the program runs from here

Quote:

---

System.out.println("")

---

This outputs a string on the screen.
