What will be the output of the program (sample.c) given below if it is executed from the command line (Turbo C in DOS)?
cmd> sample 1 2 3
/* sample.c */
#include<stdio.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    int j;
    j = argv[1] + argv[2] + argv[3];
    printf("%d", j);
    return 0;
}

sample 6
Error
Garbage value
Answer: Option
Explanation:

Here argv[1], argv[2] and argv[3] are string type. We have to convert the string to integer type before perform arithmetic operation.

Example: j = atoi(argv[1]) + atoi(argv[2]) + atoi(argv[3]);

I'm getting the error even if I put atoi() function. What to do?

argv[3] is not declare automatically
so we never used argv[3]
