Variable number of arguments for a method?

Hi, 

It is possible to declare a method that will allow a variable number of parameters?

Java example:

void foo(String... args) {
    for (String arg : args) {
        System.out.println(arg);
    }
}

If I understand your requirement correctly - you are looking to pass multiple arguments of the same type in a function - 

For this you can use List<> to accept X number of arguments of the same type: https://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/apexcode/Content/langCon_apex_collections_lists.htm

Thanks, but i want call method as foo(1) or foo(1, 2), none foo(new List<Integer>{1, 2}).

Ahh got it.. so you want the number of Arguments to be a variable and they can be of different data types.
So in this case you can use List<Object> - this argument can accept any String/Account/Contact etc reference data type variable
