arguments

Hi All,

I was writing a C program where I use 6 variables a,b,c,d,e,f

a,b,c are constant values which I should pass as an argument(command line)

d,e,f are going to be size of arrays(which are a part of a structure)

typedef struct { blah blah } ex;

ex ex0[d];

I am very confused about how to pass all these as argument. Right now I have hard coded these values,which apparently I should not be doing.
