arguments, both will be integers.

Your arguments will be passed to main as Strings.

To convert them to integers, use Integer.parseInt() on each of the
arguments.

You add parametrs to the command line invocation, like this:
java MyClass 1 2

Then, in you main method, parse the Strings like this:

public static void main(String[] argv) {
int a = Integer.parseInt(arg[0]); // need ot catch a
NumberFormatException
int b = Integer.parseInt(arg[1]);
}

main only eats Strings.

So you if put two ints on the command line what you get is an
String[2].

Your problem now is to convert each String to an int for further
processing.
