How To Use Named And Optional Parameters In C -

#include // Define a struct to hold "parameters" typedef struct { int width; int height; const char *title; // Optional (defaults to NULL) } WindowArgs; void create_window(WindowArgs args) { printf("Window: %s (%dx%d)\n", args.title ? args.title : "Untitled", args.width, args.height); } int main() { // Named and optional call using a compound literal create_window((WindowArgs){.width = 800, .height = 600}); // Changing order and including all fields create_window((WindowArgs){.title = "Game", .height = 1080, .width = 1920}); return 0; } Use code with caution.

Struct members not explicitly initialized are automatically set to zero or NULL by the compiler, effectively making them "optional". Example Implementation: How to use named and optional parameters in C

You explicitly name the struct members in the function call. #include // Define a struct to hold "parameters"
