public class F0091
{
public void main( String[] args )
{
System.out.println( "Hello" + args[0] );
}
}
What will be the output of the program, if this code is executed with the command line:
> java F0091 world
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Option D is correct. A runtime error will occur owning to the main method of the code fragment not being declared static:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: main
The Java Language Specification clearly states: "The main method must be declared public, static, and void. It must accept a single argument that is an array of strings."

@Jyothirmai.
Main method cannot be a instance method so we need need to use static keyword. For clear idea consider instance method or instance variable so to call them we need create an object in main method. If main method itself is in instance method so where we need to create an object for that instance main method.
I think you got my point.

Static methods executes first than the constructor or instance method. Static method will execute in heap when the object of the class is created.
If we do not make the main method as static who will call the main method in our class, that's why when the class object is created the static methods are automatically executed by JVM.

When we access anything from any method then first we create object of this method after that we access but if we declare method is static then we can access anything from this method without create object.
That why we use before main static keyword.

Even if you put public static void main you will get Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException
because of exceeding array limit by o/p

While including static in public static void main it is still giving error that cannot find or load main class.
