Editing Named parameter (section)

=== With chained method calls ===
In [[object-oriented programming]] languages, it is possible to use [[method chaining]] to simulate named parameters, as a form of [[fluent interface]]. Each named-parameter argument is replaced with a method on an "arguments" object that modifies and then returns the object. In C++, this is termed the ''named parameter idiom''.<ref>C++ FAQ, [http://www.parashift.com/c++-faq-lite/ctors.html#faq-10.20 10.20 What is the "Named Parameter Idiom"?]</ref> The object may then be passed to a function that uses the arguments it contains.

[[Method chaining]] is often used in conjunction with the [[builder pattern]] as a way to override default values provided by the builder class.
