Julia: command line arguments

Julia provides an option like, a julia application can accept any number of arguments from command line. This option facilitates us to configure Application at the time of running. User should pass command line arguments, at the time of launching application. Command line arguments passed in the global constant ARGS.

hello.jl

println("Command line arguments are")

for i in ARGS
 println(i)
end

$ julia hello.jl
Command line arguments are
$
$ julia hello.jl hello how are you
Command line arguments are
hello

‘julia –e’ is used to evaluate an expression. You can evaluate command line arguments like below.

$ julia -e 'for x in ARGS; println(x); end' 2 3 5 7 11
