Is there any reason to declare optional parameters in an interface?

Question

You can declare optional parameters in an interface method but implementing classes are not required to declare the parameters as optional, as Eric Lippert explained. Conver

Answer 1

Example:

public interface IService1
{
    void MyMethod(string text, bool flag = true);
}

public class MyService1a : IService1
{
    public void MyMethod(string text, bool flag) { }
}

Usage:

IService1 ser = new MyService1a();
ser.MyMethod("A");

2nd parameter passed to MyService1a will be true, as default parameter in interface.
