What do 3 dots next to a parameter type mean in Java?

Question

What do the 3 dots following String in the following method mean?

public void myMethod(String... strings){
    // method body
}

Answer 1

Arguably, it is an example of syntactic sugar, since it is implemented as an array anyways (which doesn't mean it's useless) - I prefer passing an array to keep it clear, and also declare methods with arrays of given type. Rather an opinion than an answer, though.
