Variadic
In computer science, an operator or function is variadic if it can take a varying number of arguments; that is, if its arity is not fixed.

Variadic Function
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. The term was not widely used until the 1970s. Overview There are many mathematical and logical operations that come across naturally as variadic functions. For instance, the summing of numbers or the concatenation of strings or other sequences are operations that can be thought of as applicable to any number of operands (even though formally in these cases the associative property is applied). Another operation that has been implemented as a variadic function in many languages is output formatting. The C function and the Common Lisp function are two such examples. Both take one argument that specifies the formatting of the output, and ''any number'' of arguments that provide the val ...
