Question
The Python subprogram below shows an example of default parameter.

**Instructions:**

a. *Write* the outputs of the four subprogram calls below. Is there any invalid call?  
b. *Identify* which subprogram calls used the default parameter value.  
c. Do C++ and Java programming languages support default parameters?

**Subprogram:**

```python
def newFunc(length, width, height=4):
    volume = length * width * height
    print('The volume is', volume)

# Subprogram calls:
newFunc(4, 5)
newFunc(width=4, length=5, height=10)
newFunc(1, 4, 6)
newFunc(width=2, length=1)
```
**Analysis:**

- **First Call:** `newFunc(4, 5)` - Uses the default height of 4. The output is "The volume is 80."
- **Second Call:** `newFunc(width=4, length=5, height=10)` - Does not use the default. The output is "The volume is 200."
- **Third Call:** `newFunc(1, 4, 6)` - Does not use the default. The output is "The volume is 24."
- **Fourth Call:** `newFunc(width=2, length=1)` - Uses the default height of 4. The output is "The volume is 8."

**Invalid Call:** None of the calls are invalid.

**Default Parameter Usage:** First and fourth calls use the default parameter value.

**C++ and Java Support:**

- **C++** supports default parameters.
- **Java** does not support default parameters directly but can achieve similar behavior using method overloading.
