Thread: Tiny problem with arguments.

Hello everyone,

I got a problem with program that should take arguments and use them, but it's not using them.

Code:

class Hr10NewRoot {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        //Hour ten, example one.
        int number = 100;
        if (args.length > 0) {
            number = Integer.parseInt(args[0]);
        }
        System.out.println("The square root of "
                + number
                + " is "
                + Math.sqrt(number) );
    }
}

Output:

run:
The square root of 100 is 10.0
BUILD SUCCESSFUL (total time: 0 seconds)

Argument: 169

Expected output: The square root of 169 is 13.0

IDE: Netbeans(If it helps in anyway)

This code is from a book, all steps where followed so it should work well.

       if (args.length > 0) {
            number = Integer.parseInt(args[0]);
        }
