Does Java support default parameter values?

Question

I came across some Java code that had the following structure:

public MyParameterizedFunction(String param1, int param2)
{
    this(param1, param2, false);
}         


        

Answer 1

You can do this is in Scala, which runs on the JVM and is compatible with Java programs. http://www.scala-lang.org/

i.e.

class Foo(var prime: Boolean = false, val rib: String)  {}
