Command line arguments in C++ allow you to pass values to a program when it's executed from the command line. These arguments are often used for configuration, input data, or specifying the behavior of the prog

Using command line arguments Now that you know how to provide command line arguments to a program, the next step is to access them from within our C++ program. To do that, we use a different form of main() than we’ve seen before. This new form of main() takes two arguments (named...

Command Line Arguments Pass information in from the command line of your program Passed in as a c-string int main(int argc, char argv[]) argc is the number if items on the command line The program name is included so argc is always at least = 1 ...
