UNDERSTANDING ARGUMENTS
Function arguments in ECMAScript don't behave in the same way as function arguments in most other languages. An ECMAScript function doesn't care how many arguments are passed in, nor does it care about the data types of those arguments. Just because you define a function to accept two arguments doesn't mean you can pass in only two arguments. You could pass in one or three or none, and the interpreter won't complain.
This indifference happens because arguments in ECMAScript are represented as an array internally. The array is always passed to the function, but the function doesn't care what (if anything) is in the array. If the array arrives with zero items, that's fine; if it arrives with more, that's okay, too. In fact, when a function is defined using the function keyword (meaning a non-arrow function), there actually is an arguments object that can be accessed while inside a function to retrieve the values of each argument...
