Can you give input before the program starts?
Short answer. Yes, as command line arguments after the class name.
Why convert args[1]?
Every argument arrives as a String, so numbers need Integer.parseInt().
java Greet Riya 15
| Element | Value |
|---|---|
| args[0] | "Riya" |
| args[1] | "15" |
| args.length | 2 |
Remember
| Arguments arrive in String[] args |
| Use parseInt() for numbers |
