Java Main Method: Order of Modifiers Doesn't Matter

问题：

Currently in Java Will the program run if we write static public void main?

回答：

Yes, in Java, the program will run if you write static public void main. The order of the modifiers static and public does not affect the functionality of the main method. Both static public void main(String[] args) and public static void main(String[] args) are valid declarations for the main method in Java.

The Java Virtual Machine (JVM) looks for the main method with the exact signature:

public static void main(String[] args)

As long as the method is public, static, returns void, and takes a single argument of type String[], it will be recognized as the entry point of the program, regardless of the order of the public and static modifiers.

Here’s an example:

public class Example {
    static public void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("Hello, World!");
    }
}

This program will compile and run successfully, printing "Hello, World!" to the console.
