Command Line Argument

The document discusses command line arguments in C programs. It explains that argc is the argument count and argv is an array of character pointers to each argument. argv[0] contains the program name, and subsequent elements contain any additional arguments passed when the program is run. Examples are provided of C programs that demonstrate how to access and use command line arguments to control program behavior, perform calculations, and return results.

Command line argument

int main(int argc,char *argv[])
argc – Argument count : no of arguments passed
argv– Argument vector: pointer which points to each
argument which is passed to main.
They are passed to main().
They are parameters supplied to the program when it
is invoked.
They are used to control program from outside
instead of hard coding those values inside the code.
argv[0] holds the name of the program.
After that, every element is command line arguments.
argv[argc] is a NULL pointer.
You pass all the command line
arguments seperated by space,but IF
ARGUMENT ITSELF HAS SPACE
then you can pass such arguments
by putting them inside double quotes”
” or single quotes “.
