❔ main function

Does someone know why main has static public void and why it needs a strong array in it.

The possible signatures for Main are

public static void Main() { }
public static int Main() { }
public static void Main(string[] args) { }
public static int Main(string[] args) { }
public static async Task Main() { }
public static async Task<int> Main() { }
public static async Task Main(string[] args) { }
public static async Task<int> Main(string[] args) { }

public static void Main() { }
public static int Main() { }
public static void Main(string[] args) { }
public static int Main(string[] args) { }
public static async Task Main() { }
public static async Task<int> Main() { }
public static async Task Main(string[] args) { }
public static async Task<int> Main(string[] args) { }

public is not required (can be any accessibility). Top-level statements are compiled into a Main method and will use an appropriate signature depending on the body. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-US/dotnet/csharp/fundamentals/program-structure/main-command-line

all these are valid main declarations so... it must be static, and it must be called Main, but everything else can be changed around
