| Feb 18, 2014 at 14:11 | comment | added | masterX244 | in java when needing a array inside a function which has same type as one parameter you can save off a few bytes by putting that parameter as last and make it a vararg parameter; (used that to shave off some bytes on a function to find longest word in a sentence) | |

Well for example, in C, your main function is always passed the number of arguments supplied to the program (which is 1 - the program name - by 'default') so with main(i){... you now have a variable with the value of 1 without having to do any assignments. 2 chars saved there..
