    main() with arguments?

    Hello!

    I am taking steps now to learn C thoroughly since you encouraged me to do so. Thanks. Now I have some questions for you. I see in most of the programs that main has no any arguments or parameters. Are there any occasions when main() should have some parameters except void?

    Code:
    int main(int argc, char* argv[])
    {
      return 0;
    }
    they are command line paramaters

    When all else fails, read the instructions.
    If you're posting code, use code tags: [code] /* insert code here */ [/code]
