i type the following code in java:

public class Book
{
public static void main(String [0] args)
public static void main(String [1] args)
{
System.out.println("Title: " + args[0]);
System.out.println("Author: " + args[1]);
}
}

in the command line, i type java book "Green eggs and ham" "dr seusse"

it wont compile, and im in the rite directory. what am i doing wrong?

Hi,
1) you can NOT have 2 main functions ins the same program.
2) No need to specify the length of the args[] array. It will be set automatically by the OS.
Here is the working code:

public class Book

{

public static void main(String[] args)

{

System.out.println("Title: " + args[0]);

System.out.println("Author: " + args[1]);

}

}
