What is the difference between default parameters and required parameters in programming?
Default parameters are optional values that a function can use if no argument is provided, while required parameters must be supplied.
Can you give me an example of each?
Sure! A required parameter example: function add(a, b) { return a + b; }
requires both a
and b
. A default parameter example: function greet(name = 'Guest') { return 'Hello, ' + name; }
uses 'Guest' if no name is provided.
What happens if I don't provide a required parameter?
If you don't provide a required parameter, the function will throw an error, indicating that the argument is missing.
Are there any programming languages that don't support default parameters?
Yes, some older languages like C do not support default parameters, while most modern languages like Python and JavaScript do.
