Default Arguments

[Mark Robert]

Hi, how can I create default arguments in java like in C++?
e.g., void MethodName( int a = 1, int b = 1 );
This way I can call that function with/without specifying arguments.

One more thing, how can I create functions outside a class? Is that possible? Please help..

Use method overloading:

void methodName() { methodName(1, 1); }
void methodName(int a) { methodName(a, 1); }
void methodName(int a, int b) { ... }

You can't do that; Java is not C++ and C++ is not Java.

kind regards,

You can't, a normal hack is overloading the method:

void MethodName( int a, int b ){}
void MethodName(){
  MethodName(1,1);
}

Nope.

Nope, or you have to use an external macro processor.
