+# Named arguments
+Named arguments allow you to match an argument to its position in the function parameter list by name.
+
+## Limitations
+ - is only supported for functions where bsc can clearly identify the function signature. (i.e. unsupported for object method calls, callfuncs, etc).
+ - named argument usage utilizing complex expressions many not be used for function calls within complex expressions such as ternary, null coalescence, etc. This may change in the future as the compiler improves.
+
+## Simple usage
+For simple functions, the usage is straightforward. Simply prefix the value with the parmaeter name and a colon.
+```vb
+sub Greet(message as string, name as string)
+    print message + " " + name
+end sub
+
+sub main()
+    'normal call
+    Greet("Hello", "Alice")
+
+    'named argument call with params in same order
+    Greet(message: "Hello", name: "Brian")
+
+    'named argument call with params out of order
+    Greet(name: "Clarice", message: "Hello")
+end sub
+```
+
+transpiles to:
+
+```vb
+sub main()
+    'normal call
+    Greet("Hello", "Alice")
+
+    'named argument call with params in same order
+    Greet("Hello", "Brian")
+
+    'named argument call with params out of order
+    Greet("Hello", "Clarice")
+end sub
+
+sub Greet(message as string, name as string)
+    print message + " " + name
+end sub
+```
+
+## Namespace functions
+Named arguments can be used for namespace function calls as well
+```vb
+sub main()
+   console.write(message: "Hello world", logLevel: "INFO")
+end sub
+
+namespace console
+    sub write(logLevel as string, message as string)
+        print logLevel + ": " + message
+    end sub
+end namespace
+```
+
+transpiles to:
+
+```vb
+sub main()
+   console_write("INFO", "Hello world")
+end sub
+
+sub console_write(logLevel as string, message as string)
+    print logLevel + ": " + message
+end sub
+```
+
+## Named arguments after ordered parameters
+Named arguments can come after ordered parameters. Once named parameters are defined, all further parameters must also be named.
+
+In this example, notice how the first two params are ordered, while the rest are named:
+```vb
+sub main()
+    add(1, 2, four: 4, three: 3)
+end sub
+sub add(first, second, third, fourth)
+    return one + two + three + four
+end sub
+```
+
+transpiles to:
+```vb
+sub main()
+    'first two params are ordered, the rest are named
+    add(1, 2, 3, 4)
+end sub
+sub add(first, second, third, fourth)
+    return one + two + three + four
+end sub
+```
+
+## Optional parameters
+### Default values
+The BrightScript runtime is sensitive to type mismatches, we can't simply pass `invalid` for any unspecified optional named arguments. Instead, we need to lift the values out to the call site. For any unspecified optional parameters, the compiler looks at the default value of each argument and inlines them to the function call.
+
+Consider the following example:
+
+```vb
+sub main()
+    add(third: 75, first: 25)
+end sub
+
+sub add(first = 1 as integer, second = 2 as integer, third = 3 as integer)
+    return one + two + three
+end sub
+```
+
+transpiles to:
+
+```vb
+sub main()
+    add(25, 2, 75)
+end sub
+
+sub add(first = 1 as integer, second = 2 as integer, third = 3 as integer)
+    return one + two + three
+end sub
+```
+
+
+## Argument order matters
+With named arguments, the functions are called in the order they are defined. The compiler lifts any non-primitive values out of the function call to ensure the proper execution order is maintained.
+
+
+## Simple Use case
+```vb
+sub main()
+    BuildFullName(lastName: getLastName(), firstName: getFirstName())
+end sub
+
+function BuildFullName(firstName, lastName)
+    return firstName + " " + lastName
+end function
+```
+
+transpiles to:
+```vb
+sub main()
+    __bscNamedArg1_lastName = getLastName()
+    __bscNamedArg2_firstName = getLastName()
+    BuildFullName(__bscNamedArg2_firstName, __bscNamedArg1_lastName)
+end sub
+
+function BuildFullName(firstName, lastName)
+    return firstName + " " + lastName
+end function
+```
+
+### Complex use case
+```vb
+sub main()
+    print Concat(
+        text2: LCase("Alpha"),
+        text1: Concat(text2: LCase("Charlie"), text1: LCase("Beta"))
+    )
+end sub
+
+function concat(text1, text2)
+    return text1 + text2
+end function
+```
+
+transpiles to:
+
+```vb
+sub main()
+    __bscNamedArg1_text2 = LCase("Alpha")
+    __bscNamedArg2_text2 = LCase("Charlie")
+    __bscNamedArg3_text1 = LCase("Beta")
+
+    print Concat(
+        Concat(
+            __bscNamedArg3_text1,
+            __bscNamedArg2_text2
+        ),
+        __bscNamedArg1_text2
+    )
+end sub
+
+function concat(text1, text2)
+    return text1 + text2
+end function
+```
