What is the priority of main thread in java?? and why?? - The 'main()' method in Java is referred to the thread that is running, whenever a Java program runs.

The main thread must be the last thread in the program to end. When the main thread stops, the program stops running. Main thread is created automatically, but it can be controlled by the program by using a Thread object.
