Standardargumente

Standardargumente is a term used in German to describe default or standard arguments, and it can refer to different concepts depending on the context. In software development, standardargumente are default parameters of functions or methods. They specify values that are used when a caller does not provide an explicit argument. This feature simplifies APIs, reduces boilerplate, and enables function calls with sensible defaults. Different programming languages implement default arguments with various syntax and rules, and they may interact with issues such as mutability and argument order.

In Python, default arguments are defined after non-default ones; caution is advised with mutable defaults, which can lead to shared state between calls. In JavaScript, defaults can be declared directly in function signatures (for example, function f(a = 1, b = 2)). In C++, default parameters are declared in the function declaration and can be omitted by the caller. Java, by contrast, does not support default parameters directly and relies on method overloading. The use of standardargumente increases flexibility and forward compatibility of interfaces, but can introduce surprises if defaults are not well documented or if their behavior changes across versions.

In argumentation and rhetoric, standardargumente refer to recurring lines of reasoning or common premises used to support a position. They help structure discourse and enable efficient communication, but may also risk oversimplification or bias if overused or applied inappropriately. In formal analysis, these standard patterns are examined for relevance, sufficiency, and logical soundness, guiding both construction and critique of arguments.
