In most cases, the effect is the same, but there are some edge cases according to http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5405673/java-varags-method-param-list-vs-array However, I don't like the proposed solution which needs new names. One way round this might be to extend the existing methods as follows: max(a,b,c,...)
