Order of arguments

Ruby
1

if I define a function with several args. as

def func(foo, bar)

and is used with the changed args.:

func(bar=‘wrong’, foo=‘order’)*

it will change the order of args. and this is not desirable, how to
solve it?

I imagine this with a lot of args. and could be danger

Supplementing Joel’s answer - that code is a Ruby fallacy and should be
avoided.
It does not name the arguments as they go in. It assigns two new
variables into
the calling scope - very confusingly.

Use a hash argument

def func(args={})
bar=args[:bar]
foo=args[:foo]
end

func(:bar=>1, :foo=>2)

It will not. In Ruby, the order of passed arguments is the order of
received arguments, always. Your struct, as it was said, defines two
useless local variables, and in fact passes them to the function.
