"Hello, $name" : "Hello"; if ($yell) { $text = strtoupper($text); } $output->writeln($text); }); $app->run(); ``` Running the application is the same as running any other Symfony Console application: ``` $ php application.php greet Hello $ php application.php greet john --yell HELLO JOHN $ php application.php greet --yell john HELLO JOHN ``` `Silly\Application` extends `Symfony\Console\Application` and can be used wherever Symfony's Application can.
