Entry Point

The specific instruction or function (e.g., `main()`) where a program's execution begins, transitioning from load time to run time.

The Entry Point is the designated instruction (function or memory address) where the operating system or program loader passes control to an application, initiating execution. This crucial transition marks the shift from load time to run time. For example, in C-family languages, this is conventionally the `main()` function; in Java, it is the `public static void main(String[] args)` method. It is the first point of control: it enables the program to initialize variables, process command-line arguments, and orchestrate the subsequent flow of code execution.
