Functions and Parameters C++ - Reading Assignment

1. What is a function parameter?
   basically is an argument that take a value from outside of the called function. This parameters are instances
2. Why do functions need parameters?
   To take values outside of the function called

1. What is a function parameter?

A function parameter is a variable used in a function. Function parameters work almost identically to variables defined inside the function, but with one difference: they are always initialized with a value provided by the caller of the function.

2. Why do functions need parameters?

Functions need parameters to operate with.

[SimpleSimon]

Q1. What is a function parameter?

A1. A function parameter is a variable (and it’s value) that is passed to and used in a function

Q2. Why do functions need parameters?

A2. Function parameters are not mandatory but they can be useful by providing data to a function to work with

[Filipe_Venancio]

1. What is a function parameter?
   is a variable used in a function, they are always initialized with a value (argument) provided by the caller.

2. Why do functions need parameters?
   They need parameters in order to have data to work with.

What is a function parameter?

A function parameter is a variable used in a function which is initialized with a value provided by the caller of the function.

@ivan

Why do functions need parameters?

A function needs information passed to it as parameters so that is has data to work with.

2. Functions need parameters in order to access other values.

1. A function parameter is a variable used in a function.

2. Functions need parameters if there is a need for the caller function to input variables for the function to run efficiently.

[CaliCrypto22]

1. What is a function parameter?
   A: It is a variable used in a function, and they are always initialized with a value provided by the caller of the function.

2. Why do functions need parameters?
   A: So they have enough information that they can execute accurately. However, they are not mandatory.

[PapatoniC]

1. What is a function parameter?
   a value that is passes when the function is called , so that it can be processed within the function and return a result afterwards.
2. Why do functions need parameters?
   To be more flexible and be able to reuse the function code. In this way the function will have more use cases to reuse the same code , since different external parameters and values could be used by this function. Even the function could be used in other applications.

1. What is a function parameter?
2. Why do functions need parameters?

• A function parameter is a variable used in a function, which is initialized with a value provided by the caller. All parameters of the function are created as variables when the function is called.

• Functions need parameters so the function has data to work with. Multiple parameters are separated by commas.

1. A function parameter is a variable used in a function. Function parameters work almost identically to variables defined inside the function, but with one difference: they are always initialized with a value provided by the caller of the function.
2. When a function is called, all of the parameters of the function are created as variables, and the value of each of the arguments is copied into the matching parameter. This process is called pass by value.

[kryptoslav]

1. information passed between functions
2. to ensure they have all information necessary for execution

[Ishoboy]

1. A function parameter is a variable used in a function.
2. Because parameters will give the function what specific values to work with, which makes it more flexible and reusable once the function is called.

[SabineB]

1. What is a function parameter?

A function parameter is a variable used in a function. It differs from variables defined in the function with the thing that is they are always initialized with a value provided by the caller of the function.

2. Why do functions need parameters?

Functions need parameters to have data to work with

Welcome to the discussion about the reading assignment about Functions and Parameters C++.

Leave your answers to the questions below in this thread. If you have any questions or you want to discuss something connected to the assignment feel free to do it in this thread as well, but please everything to the topic.

1. What is a function parameter?
2. Why do functions need parameters?

1. A function parameter is a variable used in a function. Function parameters work almost identically to variables defined inside the function, but with one difference: they are always initialized with a value provided by the caller of the function.

2. Function parameters and return values are the key mechanisms by which functions can be written in a reusable way, as it allows us to write functions that can perform tasks and return retrieved or calculated results back to the caller without knowing what the specific inputs or outputs are ahead of time.

[Louiseee618]

1. What is a function parameter?

It is a variable used in a function. Function parameters are defined in the function declaration by placing them in between the parenthesis after the function identifier, with multiple parameters being separated by commas.

2. Why do functions need parameters?

not really mandatory but is used as a variable inside a function.

[porter]

1. Function parameter has the variable used in the function
2. Function parameters are needed so the caller can initiate the function

1. When a variable is used in a function.
2. Key mechanism in which functions can perform task and return back to the caller without knowing specific input or out put ahead of time.

[HGarach]

1. What is a function parameter?
   Ans: A function parameter is a variable used in a function. Function parameters work
   almost identically to variables defined inside the function, but with one difference: they
   are always initialized with a value provided by the caller of the function.

2. Why do functions need parameters?
   Ans: Functions do not NEED parameters but in many cases, it is useful to be able to pass information to a function being called, so that the function has data to work with.

[RhoadsNRoses82]

1. the parameter is a basically a variable that gets automatically initialized to a certain value (the argument) and passed into the function.
2. parameters allow us to tell the function WHAT to do its work on.
