C# supports the use of named arguments, in which you can change the order of arguments passed to a function, by prefixing an argument with the corresponding parameter name.
An argument that is not prefixed with the name of a parameter is considered a positional argument.
Positional arguments must come before named arguments and match the order of the corresponding parameters.
