passing default arguments in function implementation

Question

I am defining a function with default parameters.

state* construct_state(int final_state=0, int start_state=0)      
{
      //code
}

However there is some error

nfa.c:16:39: error: expected ‘;’, ‘,’ or ‘)’ before ‘=’ token

Where am I going wrong?

There are no default arguments in C.

As far as I know, you cannot provide default arguments in C.
