function with argument lists as string. Is it possible?

[Townsheriff]

I want to create a function with accepts strings as arguments, but I cant seem to make it happen. This is closest I've got.

  Deck::Deck( int num, ... ){
  va_list arguments;
  double sum = 0;

  va_start ( arguments, num );
  for ( int x = 0; x < num; x++ ){
        stringstream ss;
    ss <<  va_arg ( arguments, int );
  cout << ss.str();
  }
  va_end ( arguments );
}

struct Deck
{
    Deck(std::initializer_list<std::string> init_list) : _deck(init_list.begin(), init_list.end()) {}

    const std::vector<std::string>& get() const { return _deck; }
private:
    std::vector<std::string> _deck;
};

int main()
{
    Deck d({ "rock", "paper", "scissors" });

    for (auto card : d.get())
        std::cout << card << '\n';
}
