Does Java support default parameter values?

Anonymous User 2325 16 May 2015
I came across some Java code that had the following structure:

public MyParameterizedFunction(String param1, int param2)
{
    this(param1, param2, false);
}
public MyParameterizedFunction(String param1, int param2, boolean param3)
{
    //use all three parameters here
}
I know that in C++ I can assign a parameter a default value. For example:

void MyParameterizedFunction(String param1, int param2, bool param3=false);
Does Java support this kind of syntax? Are there any reasons why this two step syntax is preferable?
