== Order of parameters == In languages that do not support named parameters, the ''order'' of arguments in a function call is necessarily fixed, since it is the only way that the language can identify which argument is intended to be used for which parameter. With named parameters, it is usually possible to provide the arguments in any order, since the parameter name attached to each argument identifies its purpose. This reduces the [[connascence]] between parts of the program. A few languages support named parameters but still require the arguments to be provided in a specific order.
