@ChrisBouchard argc (or i here), could be zero in 1) non-hosted environments 2) when a program is called with exec() and specifies 0.

| Jul 21, 2016 at 15:43 | comment | added | Chris Bouchard | @AshBurlaczenko In C, the first argument to main is the number of command line arguments (including the executable name itself). Since no additional arguments are passed, that count is 1. The second argument to main is the actual list of command line arguments, but that argument is ignored in this program. | |

@AshBurlaczenko By consensus we have agreed that programs may assume they will not be called with unnecessary input (in this case, no additional command line arguments, beyond the program itself). That means i here will always be 1 when this program is run. Did you mean something else?
