Can a single Java variable accept an array of either primitives or objects?

Question

For example, for a single method that reads the elements of an array, how can the programmer allow either an array of objects or an array of primitives to be passed as the p

Answer 1

class Test
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
    run(new String[] {"Hello", "World"});

    Integer[] inputs = {1, 2, 3};

    run(inputs);

            //run(new int[] {1, 2, 3}); //this would not do!
}

private static void run(Object[] inputs)
{
    for(Object input : inputs)
        System.out.println(input);
}

}

It outputs : Hello World 1 2 3

So, even with auto-boxing, the array of Objects cannot take primitves because array itself is derived from Object. Hence my answer to the question is NO.

However, in C# you can have the magic "var" to go around this issue :)
