Simple Example of Command-Line Argument in Java

Java command line arguments allow values to be passed into a Java program when it is run. These arguments can be accessed via the args parameter in the main method. Programs can be tested with different input values by passing arguments from the command line when running the program. Arguments are represented as strings in the args array, and programs can print or use the argument values.

java program.
The arguments passed from the console can be received in the java program and it can
be used as an input.
So, it provides a convenient way to check the behavior of the program for the different
values. You can pass N (1,2,3 and so on) numbers of arguments from the command
