Why you should care
[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Functions should not be defined with a variable number of arguments. Varargs methods are a convenient way to define methods that require a variable number of arguments, but they should not be overused. They can produce confusing results if used inappropriately.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space height=”12px”][vc_empty_space][vc_separator][vc_column_text]
