Explanation of Terms
Term Explanation
public An access modifier that allows the class or method to be accessed
from outside the class.
class A Java keyword used to define a class. Every Java program is
written inside a class.
HelloWorld The class name. Since the class is declared as public, the file
name should be [Link].
static A keyword that allows the main method to execute without creating
an object of the class.
void Specifies that the method does not return any value.
main The starting point of execution in a Java program.
String[] Represents an array of strings. It is used to receive command-line
arguments.
args The variable name used to store command-line arguments.
[Link]() A predefined statement used to display output on the console and
move the cursor to the next line.
"Hello World" A string literal. The text inside double quotation marks is printed
as output.
