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

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.

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

System.out.println("")

This outputs a string on the screen.

on the screen.

Actually to the console. Different OS has different consoles.
