Why Java's main method is declared as public static void main(String[] args)
Every Java program starts execution at the method public static void main(String[] args), which the JVM invokes directly. The article explains that each keyword serves a specific purpose in communicating with the Java Virtual Machine. The public modifier makes the method accessible to the runtime, while static allows it to be called on the class without creating an object instance. The void return type means the method returns nothing to the JVM, and the String[] args parameter stores any command-line inputs typed when launching the program.
