What is passed into args []

Question

What information is actually passed into the program if I pass a file using the command line?

Would this be the file name, or would it be the contents of the file?

Try it. Print the length of `args`, and then the contents of `args` in a loop. — Some programmer dude, Mar 05 '16 at 05:06
You mean case of : java MyCode param1.txt ?? Then in that case its just a string value which you interpret to be a file name of param1.txt — Srinath Ganesh, Mar 05 '16 at 08:00

In Java, unlike in C/C++, the file name is not the first argument.

Only the arguments are in args[].
