What is “String args[]”? parameter in main method Java

In Java args contains the supplied command-line arguments as an array of String objects.

In other words, if you run your program as java MyProgram one two then args will contain ["one", "two"].

If you wanted to output the contents of args, you can just loop through them like this…

public class ArgumentExample {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        for(int i = 0; i < args.length; i++) {
            System.out.println(args[i]);
        }
    }
}
