  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.
    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.

  1. What is a function parameter?

They could be thought of as variables passed in by the caller of the function.

  1. values or objects provided by the function caller to be used or modified by the function
  2. to provide the desired output, specific input may be needed, hence input parameters

2. Why do functions need parameters?
Functions require parameters as a parameter acts as information to be passed to a function. Parameter are variable inside the function.

1. What is a function parameter?
A function parameter are the values passed to the function that it needs, to be able to run when it’s called. (some functions don’t require parameters to run)

2. Why do functions need parameters?
Parameters are not mandatory, some functions can be created without any input parameters, but when a function is used to add 2 numbers (for exemple), it needs them to be able to execute.

1.What is a function parameter?

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

A parameter is a factor that helps define a function . In C++, parameters are a special type of variable used only during function declarations. The parameter is only accessible within the scope of the function where it’s supplied.

Function parameters are defined in the function header by placing them in between the parenthesis after the function name, with multiple parameters being separated by commas.

  1. Why do functions need parameters?

Parameters are essential to functions, because otherwise you can’t give the function-machine an input.
