Named parameters make code more readable when used properly. For example, which is more readable?
var c = new Cube(1, 2, 3)
or:
var c = new Cube(height: 1, width: 2, depth: 3);
- InclinedPlane 17y agoThe real advantage of named parameters is the ability to have optional parameters as well. Which means that instead of: var c = new X(3, "blue", null, null, null, null, false, true, null, 1, null); (which, sadly, is an all too common implementation pattern), you can have: var c = new X(foo: 3, bar: "blue", baz: false, quux: true, wibble: 1); Which seems quite a bit better. Another advantage of named/optional parameters is that you can use them in the construction of immutable objects, whereas you don't get that advantage if you use settable properties.
