Hello, I was wondering if I could get clarification on the topic of passing optional command-line arguments. In the original project description, under the heading of "The steps to compile and execute an ml program", Step 6 is stated: "6. runml executes the compiled C11 program ml-12345, passing any optional command-line arguments (real numbers)" I believe this means the compiled program would need to accept arguments argv[1], argv[2]... and convert them to real-valued variables arg0, arg1 etc. The compiled program ml-12345 would need main(int argc, char *argv[]) to process this. This is more difficult than directly writing the values into the C file during translation (Step 4). For example, I could write a format string "double arg0 = %s;", argv[2]. In this simpler case, main() of ml-12345 does not need to accept any command line arguments. Is my understanding of this part of the project correct? Should we be following the original project description or is it acceptable to do the simpler task? Thanks in advance for the help.
