In the realm of programming, the ellipsis (‘…’) serves as a powerful syntactic sugar, representing an unspecified number of arguments or values. Its versatility extends across various programming languages, notably in Python and C++. Python Ellipsis (Ellipsis) * The Python ellipsis object (Ellipsis) denotes an ellipsis. * It can be used as an argument to built-in functions like max() and min() to indicate an unbounded number of arguments. * For example: `max(*args, Ellipsis)` finds the maximum value among all arguments, even if their number is unknown. C++ Ellipsis (…) * In C++, the ellipsis syntax (…) serves two main purposes: * Variable Argument Lists: When declared in a function prototype, it signifies that the function accepts a variable number of arguments. * Function Overloading: It allows functions with the same name but different argument lists to be overloaded. Example 1 (Variable Argument List): “`cpp void printAll(int n, …) { va_list args; va_start(args, n); while (true) { int arg = va_arg(args, int); if (arg == -1) { break; } std::cout
