sierra + bates scjp 5 - page 175

Fig 3-1 on page 175 shows a diagram of the stack and heap for the program written on the previous page.

I have a query about "String[] args" argument used in the main method. Should the 'args' variable be shown as a local variable on the stack?

'args' isnt mentioned at all in Fig 3-1, can anyone tell me if it is an oversight in the book or alternativly point out where I am going wrong!

Thanks

You're absolutely correct. The args variable does reside on the stack (but not the string array it points to), so strictly speaking the diagram should have reflected that.
