And you need to pass a hash to it and also add another new argument. In most cases, you do the following: create a new hash and pass it as an argument to the method using the double splat operator <code>**</code>. But you can do this more concisely: instead of creating a new hash, pass the hash followed by another argument. Furthermore, if you need a different order, you can pass the arguments in reverse order. If the argument keys are the same, the last argument will overwrite the first.</p>
