Array parameter Vs direct parameters to pass to Javascript function

Question

I need to call a js-function with many parameters. Assume,

function Create()
{
    var a = $("#a").val();
    var b = $("#b").val();
    var c = $("#c").val();
    var d = $("#d").val();
    var e = $("#e").val();
    var f = $("#f").val();

    var arraydata = [a, b, c, d, e, f];

    //: 1. calling js-function with direct parameters
    var IsError = Validate_param(a, b, c, d, e, f); 

    //: 2. calling js-function with array
    var IsError = Validate_array(arraydata); 

    if (IsError == 0)
    {
          //: Do some operations...
    }
}

The validation js-function's are,

function Validate_param(a, b, c, d, e, f)
{
      alert("The value of a : "+ a);
}

function Validate_array(arraydata)
{
      alert("The value of a : "+ arraydata[0]);
}

My doubt is which is best way to call a js-function with many parameters. Here, i wrote 2 js-functions for validations. Which function will give better performance, Validate_param() or Validate_array() ?

Thanks in advance..

I think that, for only a few parameters, the difference would be negligible. — Matteo Tassinari

You don't need the array overload as you can already access passed arguments from the arguments array.

Anyway, you shouldn't worry about a small potential performance difference.
