Passing string instead of number to a clojure program throws error

java -cp clojure.jar clojure.main -i "hello.clj" -e "(hello 1)" is working with 1 as a parameter to hello function. java -cp clojure.jar clojure.main -i "hello.clj" -e "(hello "vik")" passing "vik' instead of number is throwing error.

java -cp clojure.jar clojure.main -i "hello.clj" -e '(hello "vik")' for windows, since double quote is conflicting.

You need to escape the quotation marks around vik. the Shell will interpret these before it starts java. java will see this:

 java -cp clojure.jar clojure.main -i "hello.clj" -e "(hello "   vik   ")"

try 

 java -cp clojure.jar clojure.main -i "hello.clj" -e "(hello \"vik\")"
