Subject: order of parameters and arguments

Can someone pls explain why in the following example that *c is left
empty? After the required arguments have been filled, doesn't it make
more sense that since b=1 has already been assigned a value to give the
remaining value/argument (2) to *c?

Can you pls confirm that arguments with default values are always paired
before sponge arguments (*c)?


. . . .

def args_unleashed(a, b=1, *c, d, e)
  puts "Arguments: "
  p a, b, c, d, e
end

args_unleashed(1, 2, 3, 4)

=> [1, 2, [], 3, 4]
