What does public static void mean in Java?

I\'m in the process of learning. In all the examples in the book I\'m working from public static void

Answer 1

static means that the method is associated with the class, not a specific instance (object) of that class. This means that you can call a static method without creating an object of the class. Because of use of a static keyword main() is your first method to be invoked.. static doesn't need to any object to instance... so,main( ) is called by the Java interpreter before any objects are made.
