Passing a parameter to C++ program

I want to have my program take a parameter from the command line and output a number. So when I am in the command line and type 'program.exe 4' my program will run its operations using 4 as the input and output the final value. Thanks for the help.

Look up the arg() function in the C++ documentation.

The main() function of your program would have to be modified to accept command line arguments.
#include
int main(int argc, char **argv) { printf("%s\n",argv[1]); return 0; }
"argc" is the number of command line arguments and argv is an array of strings that holds the arguments. The first argument is always the name of the program, so argv[1] would be the first argument.
