What are different ways to write main function in Programming?

The main function in programming is crucial as it serves as the entry point of a program. Different programming languages have various ways to define and write the main function. Here are some examples across popular languages:

1. C/C++

cCopy codeint main() {    // code    return 0;} 

• Here, int signifies that the function returns an integer, typically 0 for success.

2. Python

pythonCopy codedef main():    # code if __name__ == "__main__":    main()

• Python doesn't require a main function, but this structure is used for clarity and organization.

3. Java

javaCopy codepublic class Main {    public static void main(String[] args) {        // code    }}

• The main function in Java is always public static void and takes a String[] argument.

4. C#

csharpCopy codeclass Program {    static void Main(string[] args) {        // code    }}

• Similar to Java, with a static and void return type, typically used within a class.

5. JavaScript (Node.js)

javascriptCopy codefunction main() {    // code} main();

• JavaScript doesn't have a built-in main function, but one can be defined for clarity.

6. Go

goCopy codepackage main import "fmt" func main() {    // code}

• In Go, the main function must be in the main package and does not take arguments or return anything.

7. Ruby

rubyCopy codedef main    # codeend main if __FILE__ == $0

• Similar to Python, Ruby doesn't require a main function but can be structured this way.

8. Swift

swiftCopy codeimport Foundation // No explicit main function needed, code runs from top to bottomprint("Hello, World!")

• Swift applications typically do not require an explicit main function.

9. Rust

rustCopy codefn main() {    // code}

• In Rust, the main function is defined with fn and is the entry point of the program.

These examples demonstrate how the main function or its equivalent varies across different programming languages.
