Talk:Optional parameters: Difference between revisions

: I don't understand the penalization of languages that don't have a SORT built-in. The sort part is trivial. What I thought was the point of the task was to show how to use/utilize/specify optional parameters. The REXX language handles these types of problems with ease, even though it has a pretty small set of built-ins. The handling of optional/named/multiple/omitted/null/positional/etc. parameters is where REXX excels. (By the way, omitted and null parameters aren't the same in REXX.) What is the purpose in excluding languages that don't have a SORT? Do you think the (source code) example(s) would become too large? Would it be OK to add an example, but don't include the SORT code? -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] 23:35, 12 May 2012 (UTC)
 
::I read it as just omit the implementation ''details'' of a sort and just call simpler sort(s) allowing the example to concentrate on the optional parameters to the enclosing routine? --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 07:56, 13 May 2012 (UTC)
