Hi!  
I made a quiz program where you have to create a `String q[] = {"what is the first letter?","a","b","c"};` and use this in `addQuestion(q,2);`

is it possible to use something like `addQuestion( {"what is the first letter?", "a", "b", "c"},4);`?

If so, how?

`addQuestion(new String[] { "What is the first letter?", "a", "b", "c" }, 4);`

I would recommend to use variable arguments for the method you call:

```auto
void addQuestion(int number, String ... parts) {
  ...
}

```

This allows you to either throw in an array, or just strings:

```auto
addQuetion(3, "Really?", "Yes", "No");

```
