3. Command line arguments can give input to C program from command line E.g. > prog.c 10 name1 name2 …. how to use these arguments? main ( int argc, char *argv[] ) argc – gives a count of number of arguments (including program name) char *argv[] defines an array of pointers to character (or array of strings) argv[0] – program name argv[1] to argv[argc -1] give the other arguments as strings

4. Command line arguments #include main(int argc,char *argv[]) { int i; for(i=0;i<argc;i++) { printf(“%s”,argv[i]); }
