The @SafeVarargs annotation was introduced in Java 7. This annotation applies to both final and static methods or constructors that take varargs parameters. This annotation used to make sure that a method does not perform unsafe operations on its varargs parameters. Since Java 9, @SafeVarargs annotation also applies to private instance methods.
Syntax
@SafeVarargs private void methodName(...) { // some statements }
Example
import java.util.ArrayList; import java.util.List; public class SafevarargsTest { @SafeVarargs // Apply @SafeVarargs to private methods private void display(List<String>... names) { for(List<String> name : names) { System.out.println(name); } } public static void main(String args[]) { SafevarargsTest test = new SafevarargsTest(); List<String> list = new ArrayList<String>(); list.add("TutorialsPoint"); list.add("Tutorix"); test.display(list); } }
Output
[TutorialsPoint, Tutorix]
