First of all... PLEASE SEARCH BEFORE POSTING (I found the answer within two seconds of doing so)

 

You can't using optional and default values in functions but you can use overloading.

 

eg.

 

 

public void foo(String xyz) {
    system.debug(xyz);
}
public void foo() {
    foo('FOOBAR');
}
foo(); 
 
 
The above will print FOOBAR to the debug log. 
 
If you still dont understand, google it.

You need to supply an example of the code you have an issue with. You can always check in your method if the value passed is null and set your default to a class constant value.
