#In-parameter array declaration help

you can use varargs
That would work great, but I believe one can only declare a single vararg into a function (not 4 as in my use-case).
Maybe I don't know something about varargs.
void someMethod(YourType... yourParameterName){
//yourParameterName can be used just like a YourTyoe[]
}
and if a, b and c are variables of YourType, you can call it like someMethod(a, b, c)
I understand it, however I'm sending four lists of numbers.
Anyway I used ArrayList<Float> four times and that kinda worked? (not exactly maybe)
Actually, ArrayList<Float> makes it worse- nevermind that
I suppose since all the lists being sent are of known length, in this case it can be one vararg?
But it'll be like 40ish parameters lol
If they are grouped into 4 it would be maybe like 12ish parameters (normally)
How did ArrayList make it worse?
Anyway, you could also want to mimick what is done with Map.ofEntries()
well, for ArrayList<Float>, I still didn't know how to add things to the list besides the .add() method; which would be more complex than a list {...}
Map.ofEntries() (a map of alternating values) would add parameter length to the input since not every input (the 4 parameters) are of equal (or near equal) length.
I think there might not be such a comprimise that I'm looking for and I'll just have to deal with it?
I was hoping for something as simple as
SOME ANONYMOUS FUNCTION THAT CREATES AN ARRAY OF FLOATS 1,
SOME ANONYMOUS FUNCTION THAT CREATES AN ARRAY OF FLOATS 2,
SOME ANONYMOUS FUNCTION THAT CREATES AN ARRAY OF FLOATS 3,
SOME ANONYMOUS FUNCTION THAT CREATES AN ARRAY OF FLOATS 4
);```
but I'm not confident that exists.
there is, but it's not good either
And I said mimick what is done with Map.ofEntries(), not use Map.ofEntries()
You could define a class that is build by taking an array of floats (taken as a varrarg) and pass a vararg of such class
Like
kale.setMulti(
Stuff.of(0, 0),
Stuff.of(0, 0),
Stuff.of(0, 0)
);
Oh, I see. So 4 instances of a class object that each are a vararg
itself as a vararg into the original class
I will do that! That sounds great lol
I think I had misunderstoof the thing about map.ofEntries() then lol
I'ma try to implement this; brb
Ayyyyyyy, this works
Thanks for the help! (I don't know how to close the ticket)
Admittedly, made that way it's not very different to new float[] {0, 0, 0, 0}
