But what's the sense of including parameters. I am asking what if Javasoft would have made the main() without String [] args,then what had happened?

I suppose you are talking about (String[] args)? Those are used to catch switches when starting your program. For example you could attach -h or --help to display a help text when running your program.

Then we would need a different way to receive input switches to our programs.
