parameters/arguments

[Ripan Karmakar]

What is limitation (mean max)of parameters/arguments that can be passed to a function???

[Nanda Kishore]

If you mean, the maximum number of arguments that can be passed to a method, then I think it is 256.

[Eddie Vanda]

This fails on 255 parameters, but 254 (0 to 253) does compile on 1.5

While this is very therapeutic (it's late in the evening for me) I consider this extremely bad programming.
