    What part of "in YOUR own words" do you not understand? When the tests come around do you get to go on the 'net and ask people for the answers? Congratulations on failing your class!

          Explain in your own words why you cannot pass additional arguments in a function after using the params keyword.

            Because params is an array of undetermined length. If you write: void Foo(params int[] ints) and try to call it with: Foo(1, 2, 3, 4) How would it know that you want 4 as a separate argument, if the method were defined like this: void Foo(params int[] oneThroughThree, int fourth) OK, maybe it could use type information, but that leads to bottomless pits where the Wumpus will eat you.

            Nice try, but

            void Foo(params int[] oneThroughThree, int fourth)

            would need to be called like this:

            Foo(new int[] {1,2,3},4);

            would it not?

              I didn't know I was participating in a quiz - instead my response was intended to tell you that I don't understand your apparent criticism of my reponse to the OP. Care to elaborate?

                I bet Jon Skeet can have additional arguments after a params arg.

                  Well, It's just that quoting Con-fu-dse is a little like quoting Russell then refering to "common useage" as if Russell hadn't footnoted him in using the word "common". This is the Lounge, by the way. Did I get that wrong? Looks like the Lounge anyway.

                    The VBA interface doesn't allow it.

                          Not sure how C# implement that, but I'm guessing it has to do with how the arguments are push onto a stack before a function address is invoked. Being that the stack doesn't have anything to manage what type each parameter are and the Parameter type can be any number of arguments, making it difficult to separate the actual arguments from the Parameter ones.
