Hi Pedro, For your queries..
1. It is not mandatory that the ages are between 3 and 6. It's your choice. The number of family members to take into account for average age calculation can be between 3 and 6. For example, if you take 4 members of a family, say, A, B, C and D with the ages 6, 10, 12 and 16 respectively, then you would calculate the average age as (6+10+12+16)/4 which is 11. 2. The arguments are passed in the format: name1 age1 name2 age2 and so on..depending on the number of family members. Eg: oakdeveloper:~$java NameArray John 12 Jack 13 Tom 11 You can see that the arguments passed in odd numbers, i.e., args[1], args[3], args[5]... are the ones which contain the ages. So you could pick them out in your program for average calculation.
