DEFAULTEAR from the English default, and this in turn, from the French défaut, default, fails. Default is the value that is assigned by default when in the customization of an operating system, program, routine, application, etc. the user does not grant a proper value to a parameter or variable. For example, when running a process without entering the date, the system assigns by default the date of the process day. The concept has expanded to the financial area with a somewhat different meaning (default credits, default debt) because a government leaves its country in default when it suspends its payments to its international creditors, producing a terrible economic, social and labor impact on the population (case of Argentina). It is also used in mechanics and electricity (currents default, positive default, default excluded, default value).
