In Java, the argument list starts after the class name.
So here "test" is the class name, after which we have the argument
list. There are total four arguments, so args.length = 4
And arg[0] = lets
args[1] =see
args[2] =what
args[3] =happens

The answer is "lets" and "4" .My explanation is
provided on the previous post in the thread http://www.javaranch.com/ubb/Forum24/HTML/009712.html
Hope the issue is clear now.
