Variadic function

"Varargs" redirects here. For the varargs.h library in C, see varargs.h.

In mathematics and in computer programming, a variadic function is a function of indefinite arity, i.e., one which accepts a variable number of arguments. Support for variadic functions differs widely among programming languages.

The term variadic is a neologism, dating back to 1936–1937.[1] The term was not widely used until the 1970s.
