Java - Command Line Arguments

Command line arguments in Java are input values passed through the command prompt during program execution, stored as string values in the main method's string array 'args[]'. These arguments can be accessed using their index, allowing for dynamic input into the program. Examples demonstrate how to retrieve and use these arguments, such as adding two numbers provided via the command line.

– If any input value is passed through the
command prompt at the time of
running of the program is known
as command line argument
– By default every command line
argument will be treated as string value
– Stored in string array of main method
– Stored in string array args[ ]

• Command Line Arguments:
– specifies them after the name of the
class to be run.
– To use command line arguments the
main( ) method is used as follows :

public static void main(String args[ ])

Java Command Line Arguments
• Example :
– Consider a Test program that requires
four command line arguments then to
the run the program :

javac [Link]

java Test 11 22 33 44

15:44
Java Command Line Arguments
The command line contains four arguments,
that are : 11 22 33 and 44
These values are stored in an array args[ ] as
follows :

11 args[0]

22 args[1]

33 args[2]

15:44
44 args[3]
Java Command Line Arguments
The individual elements of an array args[ ]
are accessed by using an index or subscript
like

args[i]
Where i is subscript number

15:44
Command Line Arguments - Example
class Test
{
public static void main(String args[ ])
{
[Link](args[0]);
[Link](args[1]);
[Link](args[2]);
[Link](args[3]);
}
}

Command Line Arguments - Example
public class AddTwoNumbers3
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
int num1, num2, sum;
num1 = [Link](args[0]);
num2 = [Link](args[1]);
sum = num1 + num2;
[Link]("Sum = "+sum);
}
}
