create functions that take a variable number of arguments which are stored in an array for access later inside of the function
function howMany(...args) {
return "You have passed " + args.length + " arguments.";
}
console.log(howMany(0, 1, 2)); // you have passed 3 arguments
console.log(howMany("string", null, [1, 2, 3] { })); // you have passed 4 arguments
