You can easily call a JavaScript function with more arguments than the function needs, but the extra arguments will be just ignored by function execution.

Noncompliant Code Example

function say(a, b) {
  print(a + " " + b);
}

say("hello", "world", "!"); // Noncompliant; last argument is not used

Exceptions

No issue is reported when arguments is used in the body of the function being called.

function doSomething(a, b) {
  compute(arguments);
}

doSomething(1, 2, 3) // Compliant
