Can someone help me how to pass the argument i really need to understand properly.Give me a explained answer

Write a program TestDemo.java, which accepts the number as argument and print “You Have Entered Zero” if the value is equal to 0 along with the ASCII value of the number. It should print “You Have Entered Positive Value” if the value is greater than 0 along with the ASCII value. It should print “You Have Entered Negative Value” if the value is less than 0 along with the ASCII value

You could just make a method that accepts a number for you to test: 

public void testNumber(int number) {
    if (number == 0) {
    System.out.println("The number is Zero"); // Number must be zero
    } else if (number > 0 ){
    System.out.println("The number is Positive"); // Number greater than zero so must be positive
    } else {
    System.out.println("The number is Negative"); // Number less than zero so must be negative
    }
}

So to call this method in your Main method you can just type-> testNumber(with your number in here);

testNumber(0); //  Prints: The number is Zero
testNumber(1);  // Prints: The number is Positive
testNumber(-1); // Prints: The number is Negative
