OCA book question

[Ronald Cubas]

Hey everyone, I am currently studying the OCA Java SE 8 Programmer in page 7 and 8 saysthe following:
Let’s see how to use the args parameter. First we modify the Zoo program to print out
the fi rst two arguments passed in:

public class Zoo {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println(args[0]);
System.out.println(args[1]);
} }

args[0] accesses the first element of the array. That’s right: array indexes begin with 0
in Java. To run it, type this:$ javac Zoo.java $ java Zoo Bronx Zoo

My question is where should I type $ javac Zoo.java $ java Zoo Bronx Zoo

in order to get the following output:
The output is what you might expect:
Bronx
Zoo

I will really apreciate your help.

From the command line in the folder where you placed the *.java file.

Hi, I have the same problem, and if I put this code into command line it says that:

'$' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

Any ideas? Thanks a lot!

Hi Izabella,
The $-sign in the book means that you have to type something at the command prompt. You can leave the character out and type only the words.

Good luck!
