Main function is calling the other functions of he program and compiler gets this direction while Compiling the code. If it does not find main function then it will also not find the other functions in the code. So, main is required in C program.

There has to be a MASTER function, which controls all other functions. main is that master function in each programming language.

Because the languages have defined that main() be their entry point. Suppose they left it ambiguous, then you’d have to specify somewhere that method {x} is your starting point which is the same as having a main program which could call that method {x}.

Because the languages have defined that main() function as the entry point. Suppose they left out main function, then you have to specify somewhere that method manually as your starting point which is the same as having a main program which could call that method automatically.

the main method is an entry point for the compiler. In Java When class is loaded JVM is looks for main class.

main is an entry point (like a main door) for your code written in C / C++ /Java/C# . So without main the code cannot be executed.

Would you rather write code that just starts up some random function? Or do you have a better alternative? If not, then there is no point to this question? read less

In Java programming, what are the differences between the functions of 'int' and 'int []' when working with an array?
The may appear as part of the type at the beginning of the declaration, or as part of the declarator for a particular variable but But int a keeps type information together and is more verbose so I prefer it.
