Command-Line Arguments (C vs Java)

/* command line arguments in C */
void main(int argc, char** argv)
{
    char name[128]; 
    int age = 0; 
    if (argc >= 2) { 
        strcpy(name, argv[1]); 
        age = atoi(argv[2]); 
        printf("%s, name = %s, age = %d\n", argv[0], name, age); 
    } 
}

~>person.exe Park 20

argv[0] = “person.exe”

argv[1] = “Park”

argv[2] = “20”

 

// command line arguments in Java
