5. The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (30 December 2018) |
default
A value or thing to use when none is specified by the
user. Defaults are important for making systems behave in a
predictable way without the user having to give lots of
"obvious" details.
For example: the default TCP/IP port for the HTTP
protocol is 80, the Unix ls command does not list files
whose names begin with ".", the default number base in most
contexts is 10 (decimal), the default filename extension for
Microsoft Word documents is ".doc".
