This question is from CerPal



and options are


and as per the site correct answers are : 1,3,4 and 6.

But as per my opinions correct answers should be only 4 and 6 as main can't be invoked without a string array as an argument.

How should be interpret such questions in real exams? Should we take such questions in generic way?

There is a difference between arrays and var-args.

Good one. Eventhough I have used var args many times I never knew that we can call a var-args method with no arguments at all.

Thank you guys.
