It's possible you want overloading or default parameters - define the same function with defaulted parameters:
void doStuff( int a, double termstator = 1.0, bool useFlag = true )
{
// stuff
}
void doStuff( double std_termstator )
{
// assume the user always wants '1' for the a param
return doStuff( 1, std_termstator );
}
This will allow you to call the method with one of four different calls:
doStuff( 1 );
doStuff( 2, 2.5 );
doStuff( 1, 1.0, false );
doStuff( 6.72 );
... or you could be looking for the v_args calling conventions from C.
