Command Line Arguments Java

The document explains how to handle command-line arguments in Java, which are inputs passed to a program from the terminal and stored in the `String[] args` array. It provides syntax examples, demonstrates how to pass and process these arguments, and discusses use cases such as automation and scripting. Additionally, it highlights the importance of parsing arguments and includes error handling examples.

PROCESSING IN JAVA
 Understanding how to handle arguments passed
during program execution
WHAT ARE COMMAND-LINE
ARGUMENTS?

 - Inputs passed to a Java program from the


terminal or command prompt.

 - Stored in the `String[] args` array in the


`main` method.
SYNTAX

 public class Example {


 public static void main(String[] args) {
 // Code here
 }
}
 ```
 - `args` is the name of the parameter (can
be anything).
 - It is an array of `String` type.
HOW TO PASS ARGUMENTS

 **Command:**
 ```bash
 java Example Hello World
 ```
 **Output:**
 - `args[0] = "Hello"`
 - `args[1] = "World"`
EXAMPLE PROGRAM

 public class CommandLineExample {


 public static void main(String[] args) {
 for (int i = 0; i < args.length; i++) {
 System.out.println("Argument " + i
+ ": " + args[i]);
 }
 }
}
OUTPUT EXAMPLE

 **Run:**
 ```bash
 java CommandLineExample Java Programming
 ```
 **Output:**
 ```
 Argument 0: Java
 Argument 1: Programming
 ```
USE CASES

 - Passing filenames or configuration options.

 - Providing inputs without using a scanner or


GUI.

 - Useful for automation and scripting.


POINTS TO REMEMBER

 - Arguments are always strings — must be


parsed if you need integers.

 - `args.length` gives the number of


arguments.

 - Use `Integer.parseInt(args[0])` to convert to


numbers.
ERROR HANDLING EXAMPLE

 public class SafeArgs {


 public static void main(String[] args) {
 if (args.length < 1) {
 System.out.println("Please provide at
least one argument.");
 } else {
 System.out.println("First argument: " +
args[0]);
 }
 }}
CONCLUSION

 - Simple and effective way to input data


during runtime.

 - Helps in creating flexible and dynamic


applications.
