public static void main(String[] args) { ... }

This is the main method. Every program in Java must contain the main method. The Java compiler starts executing the code from the main method.For now, just remember that the main function is the entry point of your Java application, and it's mandatory in a Java program.The signature of the main method in Java is

Code Snippet

public static void main(String[] args) 
  {
  	... 
  	.. 
  	...
  }

The public static void main(String args[]) is the main method which is the entry point for the program. TheSystem.out.println("Welcome Back"); prints the string "Welcome Back" to the console. Overall, this program will print"Welcome Back" to the console when executed.
