Parameter of main method

Question

why the parameter of main method is an argument of strings and not anything else?

Answer 2

Because when you run a Java program from the command-line, the command you use looks like this:

java nameoffilehere arg0 arg1 arg2...

The arg0, arg1, and arg2 are the 0, 1, and 2 indices of the String[] args in the main method. You can use them in your program.

Also, args is just a convention, it doesn't have to be named args to function.

Answer 3

no no.... it's nothing of that sort.... I am just trying to clear the doubts.... as soon as they pop up in my mind..... so that to learn and understand things rather to cram them up
