We are passing the command-line arguments through this array. It is compulsoryif you are writing a stand-alone application. If the you are giving a main method without any argument then it takes it as an ordinary member function.

The Java runtime only recognizes one(*) method signature as the starting point of an application:public static void main(String[] args)

. Any other signature might be perfectly legal, but it won't be recognized as the starting point of an application.

(*) some variants of the signature with different access modifiers have been known to work in various versions of Java
