The signature of the main method should be public static void main (String argv[])Iin your question the argument passed to main() is String object, it should always be an String array.

Any java program is execution is started from main() method .so the main(String[] argv) is the main indication for JVM.In the given question "[]" is missing so the program is compiled but not executed.

As I can see this the P is capital in Public which is wrong.
As Java is case sensitive we should always user public which is a key word in java and not Public.

I think Strings is wrong, because there is no Strings keyword in java. It can be (String [] args) or (String args[])

You must pass the String array not String variable. In java array Special property length that specifies the the array size dynamically.
In above line use a String variable and JVM cant find the main method it will throw following error

Error: Main method not found in class --, please define the main method as: public static void main(String[] args)

public Modifier "P" is wrong. It must be small and must pass String[] as a parameter in main method.
