It's terrible how people just don't want to help you with your homework on this forum. A long time ago I actually used to be a Professor trying to teach Computer Science to small groups of selected, gifted students, so let me explain, in my own words, how to answer this question as I have many times in the past when dealing with similar issues: "I leave this one for my students to answer themselves after class. Hand in your answers by the end of the week and I will assess and awards the appropriate number of points. This will count towards your final grade."
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

Think about what the params arguments are doing - then think about why you might not be able to add other keywords. If it helps, you should go and read the documentation to get some hints.

After the params keyword is issued a Zombie Apocalypse is set in motion and only a keen C# developer can issue a certain combination of keywords that will thwart the impending doom.

Explain, with your own words or not, why this place calls itself 'The Lounge' and why the people react as they do.
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."

Why can't you read the friendly manual[^]?
In Word you can only store 2 bytes. That is why I use Writer.

Actually, the "friendly manual" isn't answering his question. It only confirms the statement in the assignment that you cannot add any parameters after the params keyword, but not why!
Unless of course "B'cause Microsoft says so!" is an acceptable answer to the question...

- because the compiler forbade it?
- because
Method<T>(params T[] values1, params T[] values2, params T[] values3) is a problem and hassel to understand without benefit?

Because params is an array of undetermined length.
If you write:
void Foo(params int[] ints)
and try to call it with:
Foo(1, 2, 3, 4)
How would it know that you want 4 as a separate argument, if the method were defined like this:
void Foo(params int[] oneThroughThree, int fourth)
OK, maybe it could use type information, but that leads to bottomless pits where the Wumpus will eat you.

What part of "in YOUR own words" do you not understand?
When the tests come around do you get to go on the 'net and ask people for the answers?
Congratulations on failing your class!

Nice try, but
void Foo(params int[] oneThroughThree, int fourth) would need to be called like this:
Foo(new int[] {1,2,3},4);would it not?

I bet Jon Skeet can have additional arguments after a params arg.
|
|
|
|
|
The VBA interface doesn't allow it.

Because if you could you wouldn't have homework to do.

Not sure how C# implement that, but I'm guessing it has to do with how the arguments are push onto a stack before a function address is invoked. Being that the stack doesn't have anything to manage what type each parameter are and the Parameter type can be any number of arguments, making it difficult to separate the actual arguments from the Parameter ones.

Examples of duck-typed, script languages:
Javascript  (what, me biased?)
Ruby
Python
Examples of statically typed compiled languages:
C
C++
C#
Go
This isn't a question of which you think is better (I know, the answer is "it depends") but feel free to answer that question, and why (particularly what it depends on).
My question is, if you were asked "how should I start learning programming?" would you a recommend duck-typed script languages or statically typed compiled language? Does it depend on what age the person is (for example, your kid, vs. a coworker interested in programming)?
Which would you prefer to teach to someone new to programming?
Why am I asking this? Because several sources of Python that I've encountered consider it a good learning language, and I'm curious what the experts here think!
Bonus (virtual) points for whether you'd pick an imperative programming language or a functional programming language!

Do I have to pick one of those?
I'd start with assembly. It's structurally simple and easy to learn incrementally. "Literally a list of instructions" is the simplest model to get used to.
