How can I pass value to main method

Question

As u know, Java's main method starts with
static void main(String[] args)
And here, I do want to know how can I pass the value to the main method.

Answer 1

In the command line, you write:

java ProgramName value1 value2

and then, when the program runs, the main method creates an array of Strings for you to use later iin your program.
If you don't pass any parameter, the array will be empty.

That's why you write:
public static void main( String[] args )...
example:

if you run the program by typing:

java NameList John Robert Donna

args[0] = "John"
args[1] = "Robert"
args[2] = "Donna"

keep in mind that you don't pass the parameters when you compile the program with javac command but only when you run it with java command.
Hope I helped.
