Hi All,

    Request your help on the below program, when I execute the 
program without passing any arguments it is throwing Range 
violation errors

Error:

void Test1() {
writeln("This is Test1");

If args.length is 1 it will call

 string op = args[1];

However, args[1] accesses the second element. Due to above if 
statement args[1] can be called even though only args[0] exists.

When you pass no arguments, this won't execute as args.length 
will still be 1, the only argument being the path to the 
executable -- args[0], of which you are apparently already aware. 
The if conditional should be this to test for no args:

if(args.length == 1)

 string op = args[1];

Because the above conditional passes when you pass no args, this 
causes a range violation since args[1] doesn't exist.
