Using the C# params Keyword for Variable Arguments

Understand the C# params keyword: syntax, compiler behavior, overload resolution, allocation costs, edge cases, and when an explicit array parameter is a better choice.

Using C# Default Parameters Safely

C# default parameters are compiled into callers, so updating a public default may not affect existing consumers. See how optional arguments, named arguments, interfaces, overloads, and API design interact.

C# Argument vs Parameter: What's the Difference?

Parameters are declared in a method signature; arguments are values passed at the call site. Learn the difference in C#, including ref, out, and in passing modes.
