Tips:

You can use:

U
1) GetCommandline() function to get the string passed to program from command
line.
V

2) “strtok” function (or your own logic) to tokenize the string and extract the
integer values from string passed as commandline.

3) MessageBox(…) function to display the result of addition.

NOTE:

Don’t send “.CPP” file, instead submit solution of both questions in a single “.DOC”
file. Use VC++6.0 for developing code and not any other compiler.
