Answer 1

I think it's pretty well covered by the answers above that String args[] is simply an array of string arguments you can pass to your application when you run it. For completion, I might add that it's also valid to define the method parameter passed to the main method as a variable argument (varargs) of type String:

public static void main (String... args)

In other words, the main method must accept either a String array (String args[]) or varargs (String... args) as a method argument. And there is no magic with the name args either. You might as well write arguments or even freddiefujiwara as shown in below e.gs.:

public static void main (String[] arguments)

public static void main (String[] freddiefujiwara)
