Default parameters

Function parameters can be assigned default values. While calling the function, if a parameter is omitted, the default value assigned to the parameter is used:

    function render(fog_level=0, spark_level=100){

       ${spark_level}`) 
    } 
    render(10); //Fog Level: 10 and spark_level: 100

    render(undefined,10); //Fog Level: 0 and spark_level: 10 

While providing default values of parameters, it is possible to refer to other parameters as well:

    function t(fog_level=1, spark_level=fog_level){
      console.log(`Fog Level: ${fog_level} and spark_level: 
       ${spark_level}`) 
      //Fog Level: 10 and spark_level: 10 
    } 
    function s(fog_level...
