INTRODUCTION

Default Arguments (Parameters)

In C++ programming, we can provide default

values for function parameters.
If a function with default arguments is called
without passing arguments, then the default
parameters are used.
However, if arguments are passed while
calling the function, the default arguments
are ignored.
DEFAULT ARGUMENTS IN C++

A default argument is a value provided in a

function declaration that is automatically assigned
by the compiler if the caller of the function doesn't
provide a value for the argument with a default
value. Following is a simple C++ example to
demonstrate the use of default arguments.
EXAMPLE :-

#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
int add(int x=2, int y=4, int z=6)
{
return (x+y+z);
}
int main()
{
cout<<add()<<endl;
cout<<add(10)<<endl;
cout<<add(10,20)<<endl;
cout<<add(10,20,30)<<endl;
return 0;
}
RULES OF DEFAULT ARGUMENTS

As you have seen in the above example that I have

assigned the default values for all three arguments
a, b and c during function declaration. It is up to
you to assign default values to all arguments or
only selected arguments but remember the
following rule while assigning default values to
only some of the arguments:
If you assign default value to an argument,
the subsequent arguments must have default
values assigned to them, else you will get
compilation error.
EXECUTION :-
OUTPUT :-
LETS SEE SOME VALID AND INVALID
CASES

int sum(int a=10, int b=20, int c=30);

int sum(int a, int b=20, int c=30);

int sum(int a, int b, int c=30);

FOLLOWING FUNCTION DECLARATIONS
ARE INVALID

1. Here a has default value assigned, all the

arguments after a (in this case b and c) must
have default values assigned, if not then it is
invalid.

int sum(int a=10, int b, int c=30);

2. Here b has default value assigned, all the
arguments after b (in this case c) must have
default values assigned, if not then it is
invalid.

int sum(int a, int b=20, int c);

3. Here a has default value assigned, all the
arguments after a (in this case b and c) must
have default values assigned, b has default
value but c doesn't have, that’s why this is
also invalid

int sum(int a=10, int b=20, int c);
