The arguments which are passed by the user or programmer to the main() method are termed as Command-Line Arguments. main() method is the entry point of execution of a program. main() method accepts an array of strings.
runtime. But it never accepts parameters from any other method in the program.
Syntax:
def main(args: Array[String])
For accessing our Scala command-line arguments using the args array, which is made available to us implicitly when we extend App. Here is an example.
Example 1: Print all given objects
Scala
object CMDExample
{
def main(args : Array[String])
{
println( "Scala Command Line Argument Example" );
for (arg < -args)
{
println(arg);
}
}
}
|
To Compile and execute the above program on terminal follow below commands :
First save program CMDExample.scala then open CMD/Terminal and go on that directory where you save your scala program.
Compile: scalac CMDExample.scala
Execute: scala CMDExample Welcome To GeeksforGeeks!
Output:
Scala Command Line Argument Example
Welcome

Example 2: Print some object which is given at runtime
Scala
object CMDExample
{
def main(args : Array[String])
{
println( "Scala Command Line Argument Example" );
println(args( 0 ));
println(args( 2 ));
}
}

To Compile and execute the above program on terminal follow below commands :
Compile: scalac CMDExample.scala
Execute: scala CMDExample 1 Welcome To GeeksforGeeks! 2
Output:
Scala Command Line Argument Example

Note:If given index not present in array then you find this error
