How to Run Command Line Arguments in C Program Example with Explanations


#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>

int main(int argc,char *argv[])
{
int sum=0,i;
//Compare if proper number of arguments have been entered
if(argc<3)
{
printf("Insufficient number of arguments:\n");
getch();
return 0;
}

//Add all the numbers entered using atoi function, ie default String, to be converted as integer
for(i=1;i<argc;i++)
{
sum+=atoi(argv[i]);
}

//printing the sum
printf("Sum of entered Numbers=%d",sum);
getch();
}

/* Just Compile and Run, then you will get "Insufficient number of arguments" message and press enter key.
 then you will go to File menu and click Dos shell option, then you will get a prompt like C:\TC\BIN.
there you type C:\TC\BIN\filename "12" "13" press enter key. Answer will be Sum of entered numbers=25
 ie "12" and "13" are arguments which are given as Command Line Arguments  */

C Program to find Prime Number using UDF, also find Prime Numbers upto a limit in C Language

C Program to find Prime Number using UDF, also find Prime Numbers upto a limit in C Language: Example 1 : C Program to find prime number using user defined function :- #include<stdio.h> #include<conio.h> int primeNumber(int); /* function declaration or prototype, int arg int returns */ void main() { int num,prime; clrscr(); printf("Enter an integer Number :"); scanf("%d",&num); prime = primeNumber(num); /* function call here with Actual Parameter num, rtns integer value and assigning to the var prime */ if(prime==1) printf("%d is a prime number",num); else printf("%d is not a prime number",num); getch(); } int primeNumber(int n) /* function definition with Formal Parameter n and returns an integer */ { int i; for( i=2 ; i<=n/2 ; i++) { if(n%i==0) return 0; } return 1; } /* prime number 3,7,11,17.... */ Example 2 : C Program to find prime num...
