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

Adding to the other well-written answers, an advantage of varagrs I found useful is that, when I call a method with array as a parameter type, it takes away the pain of creating an array; add elements and then send it. Instead, I can just call the method with as many values as I want; from zero to many.
