Maybe its a language specific thing? But it doesn't seem to be the case for
C, C++ nor is it for Java.
Afaik the compiler just needs to know that there is a function named F1 with
two integer parameters, it isn't really concerned about what names those
parameters have. It's going to link the name of the function to the
implemented function matching the same name and same types of parameters.
#include <stdio.h>
int sum (int, int);
int main (void) {
int total;
total = sum (19, 23);
printf ("Total is %d\n", total);
return 0;
}
int sum (int a, int b) {
return a + b;
}
As you can see above. In C you can do exactly what I have just mentioned.
As well as Foo(int a, int b); defined as Foo(int bananas, int spiders) {
//Stuff };
I feel that the names of the parameters are very useful (as they usually
mean something) so they should exactly map to their definition. A function
marked Foo(int first, int second) can be defined as Foo(int second, int
first) { //Possibly Ruh-roh? }; which wouldn't really make sense to someone
reading your code (and it might be confusing to the developers as well!)
