Consider the method declaration:
String.format(String, Object ...)
The Object ... argument is just a reference to an array of Objects. Is there a way to use this method with a reference to an actual Object array? If I pass in an Object array to the ... argument - will the resultant argument value be a two-dimensional array - because an Object[] is itself an Object:
Object[] params = ....; // Make the array (for example based on user-input)
String s = String.format("%S has %.2f euros", params);
So the first component of the array (Which is used in the String.format method), will be an array and he will generate:
[class.getName() + "@" + Integer.toHexString(hashCode())]
and then an error because the array size is 1.
The bold sequence is the real question.
This is a second question: Does a ... array/parameter have a name?
