Simple basic java question

Question

public static void main(String[] args)
..anyone know the statement as above could be start at begining , so what is the (String[ ] args) mean in java ?
in my ideas of this statement is
publc : indicates the statemean can be used as all class , this is open for public use
static mean the main method can used as class method
void indicate that the statement return nothing
main indicate any class should be run this first.
so my question what is the function of (String [ ] args) ? // one string array call args ?

Answer 1

String[] args is indeed an array of Strings called args. The reason it's there is to collect any arguments passed to your code when you start it.
eg. if you have a class called TestClass and you called it from the command line like this:
java TestClass exam tomorrow oh shite
.......then the args array would hold the four Strings:
exam
tomorrow
oh
shite
