Lecture

Default Arguments and Function Overloading

Description

This lecture covers the concept of default arguments in function prototypes, where values can be provided for parameters, and the function can be called without providing arguments for those parameters. It also explains the rules for specifying default arguments and the order in which they should appear. Additionally, the lecture introduces function overloading in C++, allowing the definition of multiple functions with the same name but different parameter lists. This mechanism is useful for writing functions sensitive to the type of their arguments, enabling the implementation of similar operations on different types of entities.
