What are you trying to do in line 06? If you remove it it'll work normally.

This will work if you provide some command-line argument (such as a name) when you call the program

>> java UseArgument Power25

will produce

Hi, Power25. How are you?

What he's trying to do is to use a command-line argument in the program. So removing that line would defeat the purpose.

I suppose you're using an IDE of some sort.You can probably feed it command-line arguments, but I don't know how you go about that.

Better you throw your Eclipse or your NetBeans over your shoulder and use an editor and javac, so you learn how to program properly.

No, the OP wants to use an argument as the Topic title seems to claim

[Power25]

i don't understand what is the problem? (Sry for my English)

lol))) I seriously doubt
Have you tried from the command line ?
|If you use an IDE (bad idea at the stage you are in) you will have to:
- do it at the console prompt
- instruct your IDE that you want to pass parameter at execution time

[Power25]

I only use newest version of Dr.Java with Eclipse Compiler 0.A48

[pbl]

Open a console window...
cd to the directory where is UseArgument.class

type

>> java UseArgument Power25

and it should work if the java/bin directory is in your %PATH% variable

Another typical example where IDE should not be sed in the first days of Java
