Complex objects as default parameters?

[pan69]

Anyone knows if it is possible to have complex objects as default parameters? All the documentation I can find talks about primitives like int & string.


function booking( date : Date = new Date() ) : void
{
}

I would be shocked if you couldn't, but I doubt you could create the object in the parameter list.

Just do this:

function booking(date:Date=null){
if(date == null) date = new Date();


}


that is better code anyway because it detects if the caller sends in a null as well.

Unfortunately I'm not shocked about this. Disappointed, yes.
