17. why always "string args[ ]"    coderanch.com

When SUN created Java, they sat down and said "OK, what is the ONE best signature that we can use as a starting point for ALL applications". They decided that String can encompass all other data types as input. So they coded the compiler to always look for that particular method signature, and when found, use it to kick off the ...

18. (String[] args) vs. (String args[])    coderanch.com

In main() there shouldn't be any difference. It only matters if you are making multiple declarations of arrays. For example: String [] arr1, arr2; I just declared two String array references. However, if I use String arr1 [], arr2; I declare one String array reference arr1, and one String reference arr2. To be able to declare 2 String array references, I ...

A String array is the argument type to the main method used as a Java entry point: public static void main(String[] args){ ... } Any legal identifier can be used for this array, although "args" or "argv" are probably the most common (for "arguments" and "argument values" respectively). The general purpose of this array is a means to pass initial information ...

21. main(String args[]) versus main(String[] args)    coderanch.com

I just started a Java class and my instructor mentioned the second approach is preferred, BUT... I have to agree that using the first approach for defining an array (int[] = int) that one can very quickly see the variable is an array w/o having to read the entire line of code. Thank you very much.

22. what does (String[ ] args) mean?    coderanch.com

Hi, Mike Well, any Java program needs a starting point. When a class has a method with the signature public static void main(String args[]) that means that class is elegible as an application starting point. For instance: public class Jedi{ public static void main(String args[]){ System.out.println("Hello Luke!"); } } After compiling your class with the javac.exe (in Windows) or the javac ...

23. main ( String[] args) question    coderanch.com

Awesome info guys. I appreciate the time you guys take to answer silly questions like mine. I was hoping that if I am going to take the argument and then change it into an int array or a char array it would seem easier, in my mind, to do it right off the bat. I didn't know if we could over ...

24. String args[] vs. String[] args    coderanch.com

As people have already said, it makes no difference to the behaviour, except in the case of declaring multiple variables in one line. And, frankly, if you declare some Strings and some arrays of Strings, all in one line, you deserve to be forced to write Visual Basic for the rest of your career. I think the "String args[]" version is ...

27. Why main(String [] args) method must be public    coderanch.com

I can declare a class as non-public and packageless, and then run its main() method from the current directory. Why doesn't the main method run if i dont declare it as public? My question actually is but for the main method, the non-public class's method would actually not be accessible from other packages. So, from the current directory, since the non-public ...

28. String[] arg Vs String... args    coderanch.com

They are not 100% the same. String[] requires just that - an array of Strings. String... on the other hand, accepts both an array of Strings but also any number of Strings. As you can see, String... allows anything that String[] allows but not vice versa. Now, given that A) won't even compile, what do you think the answer is?

29. Why do we give "String [] args" as an argument to main??    coderanch.com

When you type "java MyClass", the JVM goes and looks for a method in MyClass with the signiature "public static void main (String [] args)" (although the specific name of the String array can be anything you want). If that method is not there, the JVM can't start up your program. However, it is perfectly valid to have a class that ...

30. main(String[]args)    coderanch.com

it will not be used, but you still have to have it there. The jvm is EXPLICITLY looking for a method with that signiature. So if you wrote public static void main(){...} and didn't have the "String [] args", the jvm would not be able to find the 'entry point' into your program, and would complain. Note that the variable name ...

33. String[] args    coderanch.com

I think the poster here wants to know the rationale behind the requirement of main() with String array argument.

What advantage does it(making it compulsory) give us. Even if she did not ask ...

45. Need of String args[] in main()    forums.oracle.com

Hai all, i had a small doubt regarding the usage of String args[] in main function.

Ofcourse answer is "C". C don get confused with these two Syntax Declarations. Though String... and String[] defines an Array, with ... we are defining there could be n no. of object of that type. String[] need some String Array object to be assigned.... Talking about main function, in command line arguments, we can send ...n.... no. of commands. So, in ...

48. why we use string args[] in void main()    forums.oracle.com

Because that's roughly how C did it and Java is based on C. You can get all the input arguments using JMX, but it's rather complicated and not useful except in obscure cases. (I use it to determine if a unit test is running in debug and change the timeouts in my tests so I can step through a test without ...

49. Difference between (String....args) & (String [] args)    forums.oracle.com

"String... args" will declare a method that expects a variable number of String arguments. The number of arguments can be anything at all: including zero. "String[] args" and the equivalent "String args[]" will declare a method that expects exactly one argument: an array of strings. One difference that might not spring out from those observations is that in the second case ...

50. Restart main(String args[])    forums.oracle.com

Depends a bit. I think I'd go for a loop in main() so that "reset" terminates the current iteration through the loop, effectively restarting from the top of the loop. If terminating the current iteration is complicated, a possible hack is to throw an exception (declare your own exception subclass just for this purpose), catch in the loop in main and ...

51. Why String args[] is mandatory in main() ?    forums.oracle.com

The method signature is a combination of the name of the method and the parameters it takes. As such, two methods with the same name but different parameters are different -- indeed, this is what is called overloading a method. The JVM knows the signature of the main method to look for and run automatically. Allowing for a no-parameter version of ...
