command line arguments
Your program must not use a menu system. Instead the behaviour of the program will
be controlled using command line arguments. Your system will respond to the
following command line arguments.
• -l LENGTH (required) How long the generated sequence will be. The length
is a natural number.
• -r (optional) The sequence will be randomly generated (with range 0-100)
using the current time as a seed value. If this argument is not present then
the sequence will be a normal counting sequence e.g. 1, 2, 3, 4....
• -t TRANSFORMATION-TYPE (required) Which transformation will be applied.
Possible values for TRANSFORMATION-TYPE are the following:
• “sq” Square each element in the sequence.
• “dbl” Multiply each element in the sequence by 2
be controlled using command line arguments. Your system will respond to the
following command line arguments.

You should at least get started first. And that prompt looks very difficult for this to be your first time coding, are you sure you have never been required to write code before?
