  1. A function parameter is a variable used in a function. It is initialized with a value provided by the caller of the function.
  2. Parameters act as variables inside functions. They are often needed as inputs to process, however they are not mandatory.

  1. What is a function parameter?

A function parameter is a variable used in a function.

  1. Why do functions need parameters?

Function needs data to work with so we pass this information to a function being called via function parameters and arguments.

  1. A function parameter is a variable used in a function. Parameters are always defined in the function declaration by placing them in between the parenthesis after the function identifier.

  2. They are not indispensable, however parameters provide some data information, passed to the function by the caller.

  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. It is useful to be able to pass information to a function being called, so that the function has data to work with. Otherwise function appears to have incomplete information

1. What is a function parameter? - a variable used in a function. Similar to defined variables except they are initialized by the caller of the function.

2. Why do functions need parameters? - they are used to pass information to a function. They are not needed but is a cleaner way to write code.

  2. Functions need parameters in order to function properly and collect usable data.

What is a function parameter?
Parameter is a variable with a value that is defined by the caller.

Why do functions need parameters?
Functions have parameters to be able to operate on different values, each time that they are called

  1. It is a variable which has to be provided a value within its related function.
  2. By defining parameters it is possible to provide additional information for the function to work on, so they make it possible to build more complex functions.

  1. A function parameter is a variable which is defined as an input to the function. These function parameters are then processed/used inside the function. When you want to call the function you have to give the function the needed arguments. The given arguments then represents the previously defined function parameters.

  2. You often use functions because you want to manipulate/calculate some data. In order to do that with a function you have to give the information/data (which should be manipulated) as an argument to the function. Then the function can use the given data and work with it/ manipulate it.

Answer:

  1. A function parameter is placeholder/variable for the value that is passed to the function. Function parameters are defined in the parentheses after the function has been declared. Function parameters have a type. There can be more than one parameter separated by a comma.
  2. Function parameters allow us to reuse the same functions without knowing specific arguments ahead of the time. Instead of writing each time arguments to a function, it will have a placeholder, a parameter which we can use later in our program to pass values to a function we need.

They don’t need them but it’s useful to write just 1 time a function.

1. What is a function parameter?
A function parameter is an input value that the function uses in its evaluation.

2. Why do functions need parameters?
This enables definite inputs to be specified and passed through functions. This makes the code easier to follow, more efficient and flexible so that the same function can be used for different values…

1)What is a function parameter?
A variable used in a function that is initialized by the caller of the function.

2)Why do functions need parameters?
So that values initiated outside the function can be represented inside the function.
