It's just a variable that stands for all the numbers you insert in the method average in the main function.quot;

Void doesn't return a value, int does.quot;
f4lconachquot;
If you create an int (public static int average()) if has to return an int. to do so type: return 5; (<-- this'll make your method return the value 5). also in Java 'return' is a keyword. so the difference between a void and an int is that ints HAS to return an int. voids doesn't HAVE to return something.quot;
BulldoggEcstacyquot;
Int and void are return types. You can return integer as bucky is doing in the example. Or you can return nothing, which is what void means.quot;

(int...numbers) means you can pass as many integers as you want for the argument and (int numbers[]) means you would need to pass an array for the argument.quot;

That’s why your averages were always into numbers.I assume you understand how an average is calculated? (sum/counter) I think it would be easier to make an array and just use thatI think it's great he is trying to teach Java, but when I see something I believe is wrong, I try to correct it in case anyone wants to know.If you had a class going on at a college I would definitely attend every day, especially since you make it fun. 35 % Self-introduction.

I agree, that’s probably true, but I guess maybe because it’s easier to type into than doubles?Well ...
