1"_Why we use static with main(String args[]) method in java_" Because the specification ask it, and because there is no instance of that class yet. "_Can anybody explain me the role of static in easy terms_" For an explanation, you should follow a course on Java to get this part, this is no complicated but this doesn't seems to fit on SO – AxelH May 03 '17 at 05:41

In computer programming, a static variable is a variable that has been allocated statically so that its lifetime or "extent" extends across the entire run of the program – May 03 '17 at 05:43
