Why is the Main() method use in C# static?

The Main method states what the class does when executed and instantiates other objects and variables.

A main method is static since it is available to run when the C# program starts. It is the entry point of the program and runs without even creating an instance of the class.

The following shows how to add a Main() method with static −

Example

 Live Demo

using System;

namespace Demo {
   class HelloWorld {
      static void Main(string[] args) {

         Console.WriteLine("Bingo!");
         Console.ReadKey();
      }
   }
}

Output

Bingo!

As you can see in the above example −

static void Main(string[] args) {

Here,

• static − the object is not needed to access static members

• void − return type of the method

• Main − entry point for any C# program. Program execution begins here.

• string[] args −  for command line arguments in C#.
