Command-Line Arguments

[mustachMan]

on one example program it says to put a command line argument to see the program run and i dont know where to put it?
do you have to write it in the code?

class YearDisplayer {
    public static void main(String[] arguments) {
        int year = 2000;
        if (arguments.length > 0)
            year = Integer.parseInt(arguments[0]);
        for (int month = 1; month < 13; month++)
            for (int day = 1; day <= countDays(month, year); day++)
                System.out.println(month + "/" + day + "/" + year);
    }

    static int countDays(int month, int year) {
        int count = -1;
        switch (month) {
            case 1:
            case 3:
            case 5:
            case 7:
            case 8:
            case 10:
            case 12:
                count = 31;
                break;
            case 4:
            case 6:
            case 9:
            case 11:
                count = 30;
                break;
            case 2:
                if (year % 4 == 0)
                    count = 29;
                else
                    count = 28;
                if ((year % 100 == 0) & (year % 400 != 0))
                    count = 28;
        }
        return count;
    }
}

If you call YearDisplayer on the command line with the java command, put the arguments there:

java YearDisplayer argument1 argument2

Are you working on command prompt or on an IDE? Different IDEs have different techniques to assign command line parameters, but the concept is the same.

If you call YearDisplayer on the command line with the java command, put the arguments there:

I want to know where is the command line?

and I am using Eclipse

If you're using Eclipse, then it's buried in Eclipse, but you can find it by going to the run menu and searching for it under Run Configurations, then Program Arguments.

I want to know where is the command line?

Before the use of Eclipse, have you ever tried to write a simple code/application on Notepad and run it on command prompt with arguments?
