If you supply multiple arguments of the same name to a function, the last instance will shadow the preceding one(s). This is most likely an unintentional typo.

Invalid:

function withDupes(a, b, a) {
  console.log("I'm the value of the second a:", a);
}

Valid:

function withoutDupes(a, b, c) {
  console.log("I'm the value of the first (and only) a:", a);
}
