 ## Optional arguments
 
-The definition of a method, constructor, indexer, or delegate can specify its parameters are required or optional. Any call must provide arguments for all required parameters, but can omit arguments for optional parameters.
+The definition of a method, constructor, indexer, or delegate can specify its parameters are required or optional. Any call must provide arguments for all required parameters, but can omit arguments for optional parameters. A nullable reference type (`T?`) allows arguments to be explicitly `null` but does not inherently make a parameter optional.
 
 Each optional parameter has a default value as part of its definition. If no argument is sent for that parameter, the default value is used. A default value must be one of the following types of expressions:
-  
+
 - a constant expression;  
 - an expression of the form `new ValType()`, where `ValType` is a value type, such as an [enum](../../language-reference/builtin-types/enum.md) or a [struct](../../language-reference/builtin-types/struct.md);
 - an expression of the form [default(ValType)](../../language-reference/operators/default.md),  where `ValType` is a value type.
 
-Optional parameters are defined at the end of the parameter list, after any required parameters. If the caller provides an argument for any one of a succession of optional parameters, it must provide arguments for all preceding optional parameters. Comma-separated gaps in the argument list aren't supported. For example, in the following code, instance method `ExampleMethod` is defined with one required and two optional parameters.

 The following call to `ExampleMethod` causes a compiler error, because an argument is provided for the third parameter but not for the second.
 
 ```csharp
-//anExample.ExampleMethod(3, ,4);
+// anExample.ExampleMethod(3, ,4);
 ```
 
 However, if you know the name of the third parameter, you can use a named argument to accomplish the task.
