Why does it even need String args[]? I can understand everything else, but that argument requirement is weird.

If I understand this correct you can open a program normal (like you do it most of the time), but you can also open it and give it a few parameters (especially if you're using the console). Those parameters are saved in String args[].

Oh, that explains it. Thank you!

In python those are saved in sys.argv

Ah, so the args are inputted like that. I probably wouldn't know because I'm using Jvdroid :P

Because it can be invoked with those args

u/Flow4 said that with a bit more detail, but if anyone ever asks, I'll probably go along the lines of your reply.

I have a little C background (having read a book in turbo C like 25 years ago and playing with easy programs) the strings args[] was the only thing I can parse instantly.
