Parameters used in First Java Program
Let's see what is the meaning of class, public, static, void, main, String[],
System.out.println().
•class keyword is used to declare a class in java.
•public keyword is an access modifier which represents visibility. It means it is visible
to all.
•static is a keyword. If we declare any method as static, it is known as the static
method. The core advantage of the static method is that there is no need to create an
object to invoke the static method. The main method is executed by the JVM, so it
doesn't require to create an object to invoke the main method. So it saves memory.
•void is the return type of the method. It means it doesn't return any value.
•main represents the starting point of the program.
•String[] args is used for command line argument. We will learn it later.
•System.out.println() is used to print statement. Here, System is a class, out is the
object of PrintStream class, println() is the method of PrintStream class. We will learn
about the internal working of System.out.println statement later.
