If the programmer is writing a function that requires four input values, but most of the time when the function is called, three of the inputs are the same (only changed occasionally). How should the programmer design this function?
What will be an ideal response?
This function should use a default parameter list prototype statement. The input value that needs to change often is first in the list, followed by the three inputs that don’t change. The three constant values would be assigned into the variables in the prototype statement.
