Set default argument values in a function
Apr 15^th, 2014 at 11:31am

Hello,

I have a function I would like to specify default values for some of its arguments so that I will not have to supply these arguments whenever I need to use the function, unless I prefer better value(s) to the default. I have no idea how this can be done on HyPhy. I will appreciate if anyone could assist.

Thanks in advance,
hyphyInfant.

A kludgy workaround is to provide wrapper functions which prefill the arguments by default: Code: function full (a,b,c) { ... } function shorthand (a) { return full (a, 0, 1); } Sergei
