The error is displayed as you are not passing any parameter while running the program. Try running the program from command line and passing argument. Eg:

c:\> java MyFirstJavaProgram arg0_value

or you can provide argument in Run Configuration of eclipse as well.

    The official term would be "command-line arguments" or "program arguments". Googling "Eclipse ..." (Using either term) would provide the information needed to understand this. Either way, +1, although I recommend giving the OP info for expanding on this topic. – Vince May 22 '20 at 04:39

This program is expecting a command line argument; if you run this with Eclipse it will cause this issue. You need run this program from the shell with the proper arguments.

Compile file:

javac java_filepathofFile argument

Use java to run:

java class_filepathofFile argument
