Explain in your own words why you cannot pass additional arguments in a function after using the params keyword.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is

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?

Because if you could you wouldn't have homework to do.

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.
