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 Code Shortening Techniques or My Logic for Reduced Source Code Writing in C Program Language

C Code Shortening Techniques or My Logic for Reduced Source Code Writing Tips and Tricks in C Program Language :- Role of Semi Colon(;) and Curly Braces({ }) in C Program Perhaps, you might have heard that the for() loop should not end with ";" like if(). But, in fact the ";" is using in C language as a Statement Terminator, so, if we want to terminate for() loop, then we should use ";" at the end of for() loop. [ Header files are to be included as usual, it is not written in the examples ] Question : write a C program to print 1 to 10 numbers using for() loop ? Example 1 : void main() { int i; for ( i = 1 ; i <= 10 ; i++ ) { printf("%d\n",i); } } /* above program, for() loop has one statement outside, so we do not use ";" at the end, because if we put ";" the for() will not take the continuing statement as its own. */ Example 2 : void main() { int i; for ( i = 1 ; i <= 10 ; printf( "%d \n" , i ...
