Question
Why does using `main(String args)` instead of `main(String[] args)` lead to the "can't find main method" error?

The JVM specifically looks for a `main` method that accepts an array of `String` objects, denoted by `String[] args`. If you declare it as `main(String args)`, you are defining a method that accepts a single `String` object, not an array. This does not match the required signature for the application's entry point, causing the JVM to report that it cannot find the `main` method.
