public static void main(String args[])

Question

I have noticed in Java some variation of the beginning code.

In some places I see:
public static void main(String args[])

In other places I see:
public static void main(String[] args)

What is the difference between one and the other?

Answer 1

both are correct, but square brackets after the data type is preferred. I guess it increases readability.

Answer 2

Java supports the syntax of square brackets being written after the array identifier as a legacy syntax from C, for C programmers to better adapt to Java when porting over.

The latter (square brackets after type) is preferred in Java.
