While struggling through the latest homework problem, one of the bits of code I got had this in the main.cc file:
What exactly does this do? I haven't seen this before and it's not
covered in my book (yet). I did get a copy of "C++ for Dummies", and
this is shown in the section on pointers, but it doesn't explain it
very well. All it pretty much says is that argc is the arguments
given to the program and argv[] is the array of pointers to these
arguments. So what does that mean to me, and when would I use it?

There is a tutorial in the forum about command line argument which explains it in good details.

Thanks,

Ah, didn't recognize that it was the same thing when I scanned it. Thanks for update.
