Hello @TwoDogsOneBigOneSmall
Solidity does not support default parameters, so setting up {favoriteNumber: 2, name: Patrick} is not valid. You should set those values at execution, not at declaration. However, there is a workaround if you want to set default values. you can refer to this thread.

Best regards, Cromewar.
