Example of set function default value JavaScript

In JavaScript, you can call a function without parameters.

So you can add default values like this:

function func(a, b){
   if (typeof(a)==='undefined') a = 10;
   if (typeof(b)==='undefined') b = 20;

   //your code
}

In the example, we set the default value of A and B as 10 and 20. If you pass the value then it will show in the alert box, otherwise, it will show 10 and 20.
