Subject: "args = nil" in method signature

Hello, please could somebody explain to me what the "args = nil" in the
method signature does? And why/when would you use such a convention?


def request_post(resource, args = nil)
    request(resource, "post", args)
end

# example method call on request_post
request_post("api/v2/projects/my_project/murmur.xml",
               'murmur[body]' => "I murmur this message here")


Thank-you in advance, Michelle
