Program

[dbaby7]

Hi guys
I was wondering if somebody could help me with this. The question I have been asked to do is:
Write a Java program which prints a string a multiple number of times, where the string and the multiple are supplied at the command line. For example, invoking java dog 3 should result in dogdogdog being printed.

What I have at the moment is:

class question1c
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
String word = args[0];
int amount = Integer.parseInt(args[1]);

for (int i = 0 ; i < amount ; i++ )
{
System.out.print(word);
}


}
}

However this does not fully cover the question because in order to run it I would have to enter "java Question1c dog 3" which is different to what is being asked. Is there any way to complete this question? I tried putting class args[0] but that doesn't work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Yours is the way to do it. You cant invoke a java program without the class name. This is the answer, and if your teacher tells you otherwise, ask him how its possible, because I'm darn sure its not.

Hi Singing Boyo

Thanks for your help!!

Figured as much. You'd think they'd try to answer it themselves and not have it work, but whatever.
