Java won't load.

Why won't this work? after being compiled.

Code :

---

public class Add {
 
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      int a = Integer.parseInt(args[0]), b = Integer.parseInt(args[1]);
      System.out.println(a + " + " + b + " = " + (a + b));
   }
 
}

The error means String[] args is empty but you're trying to get values from it. Even if String[] args contained something that could be converted to an integer, you would still receive compiler errors because you cannot initialize variables on the same line using your approach. That is:

Code Java:

---

public class Add {
   public static void main (String[] args) {
       int a, b, sum;
       int[] myArray = {1, 2};
       a = myArray[0];
       b = myArray[1];
       sum = a + b;
       System.out.println(a + " + " + b + " = " + sum);
     }
}

---

The code should test if the args array has anything in it before trying to use it. Use the array's length attribute.
If args.length is >= 2 then the code can get args[0] and args[1]
If the length is < 2 print out an error message and exit.

Alright thanks for the quick response, it seems to be working.
