I found a solution to my earlier thread mentioned herein
The thread at the Eclipse Forum was solved by a poster there, where I also had placed a copy of the thread, looking at the mess being created here.
The Eclipse thread is here: Can one not learn Java without knowing C? And C without machine or assembly languages?
The solution to the problem I had faced here is as follows:
...look at this portion:
The main method accepts a single argument: an array of elements of type String.
public static void main(String[] args)
My question is: If the main method accepts only a single argument, how come it is an array of elements of the type string. There should only be one array of type String, an array having many character elements. So the statement should have been:
...The main method accepts a single argument: an array of
elementscharactersof typeforming a String.
public static void main(String[] args)
I lately discovered that I was not allowed to post further onto that thread of mine. For six hours I tried to post unsuccessfully there, reading that there was a CSRF error. There wasn't! I was barred without infomation.
I found that the Eclipse forum is visually attractive and easier to have my posts formatted and edited and re-edited and improved.
I was thinking if I could post my queries there with a link of that query here, as I have a lot of restrictions here.

Incorrect. The array is of String objects, not of individual characters.

Incorrect again. If you were banned from these forums, it would not take the form of CSRF errors.

While a String does use an array of characters internally, args[] is not actually an array of characters. It is an array of Strings, which are an Object that internally uses an array of characters to represent it. There's no difference in C because there aren't any objects, but here there is. For example, you can call instance methods on Strings to create new ones based off the old, and such like that. Java is not the same as C, your knowledge of C strings doesn't apply here.

I am pretty sure both those statements, unfortunately, are incorrect for Java®. Certainly the second sentence there differs from the Java® Language Specification.An array is simply an allocated space in memory dedicated to your desired memory type, in this case a string. A string is an array of characters.
That presumably differs from language to language; in Java® however there is only one argument which is a String[]. I think the poster in that forum is confusing the Java® requirements with the conventions in C; the two are unrelated languages, so what applies n C might not apply in Java®.The Same Source wrote:Java MyApp arg1 arg2 simply means you have a Java program called MyApp that takes two arguments.
