7 ways of declaring main in java

[josephaswin]

hi,

i know there are 7 ways to declare main in java
as

1.public static void main(String args[])
2.static public void main(String args[])

but what are the other ways?

but only change first two keywords
i.e. public and static
and use the required keywords.

this is the question given to me.

Apparently you can declare main() as private or protected, too. The code will compile, but you'll get an error when you run the program saying main() isn't public. I didn't know that. Also, I don't think you can remove "static" as you'll get an error when you try to compile if you do. Why do you want to declare main() in different ways anyway?

Hi there,

Yes, there are a total of 7 ways to declare the main method in Java. The other 5 ways are:

3. public static void main(String[] args)
4. static void main(String args[])
5. public static void main(String... args)
6. static public void main(String[] args)
7. public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception

In these ways, the first two keywords, i.e. public and static, are changed and the required keywords are used. It is important to note that the main method in Java should always be declared as public, static, and void. However, the order of the keywords can be changed as long as all three are present. The last way also includes an exception, which is used to handle any errors that may occur in the main method.

I hope this answers your question. Let me know if you have any further queries. Happy coding!
