Passing Multiple Numbers in a Parameter for an Array

Question

Is it possible to pass multiple numbers as a parameter for an array parameter? Just like I would with a regular int. Or does the parameter have to be a separate array that I have to create?

public static void main(String[] args) {

getIntegers(1,2,3,4,5);

}

public static void getIntegers(int[] array) {

//write whatever here

Hey Aomine-Sorry if this is a duplicate but I looked at that question and it just seemed to confuse me more, as I didn't understand what was being asked. — Allen Michael, May 25 '17 at 15:16

You can use varargs.

public static void getIntegers(int... array)

It can be referenced as an int[] from within the method body.

The method can be invoked by passing any given number of ints, or null.

Also note

You cannot declare more than one varargs per method signature.
If you intend to declare more than one parameter in your method, the varargs must be the last one

Hey Mena! Thanks for your answer, I have not gotten to the varargs chapter yet, so when I saw the "..." i thought it meant "type info here" and wasn't an actual command. – Allen Michael May 25 '17 at 15:19
