  1. What is a function parameter?
    function parameter is a variable used in a function where the value is provided by the caller of the function

  2. Why do functions need parameters?
    parameters serves as input variables for the function to work on

  1. A function parameter is a variable which takes a value calling the function, The function parameter name is lokal variable. The lokal variable and its value is just processed inside the called function.
  2. The parameters are needed as a key element to write reusable functions,

  2. Functions do not necessary need parameters, functions can run without any parameters, however parameters are useful when you require to give inputs to the function to obtain a certain output in a function.

1.What is a function parameter
A function parameter is a variable within the function that passes information, a certain value, into the function. This value is specified by the caller of the function.

2.Why do functions need parameters?
Certain functions, when they are being reused, require different values to undergo the same function at different time. Instead of writing a separate code, but similar code for every action taken, we can simply change the parameters instead, and the output value given to us will be as desired.

  1. Parameter is variable used in function. The value will be given to it by caller. Arguments sit in parentheses after the function name and are separated by comas.
  2. Functions are re-usable thanks to the parameters. They allow them to be rewritten and perform tasks without knowing the input values ahead.

  2. The function does not need parameters. But it allows you to add instruction specifications to the function.

  1. What is a function parameter?
    This is the argument placeholder where the function is made. They require the proper variable type such as int. When the function is called upon arguments don’t need specified value types, just the proper amount of arguments.
  2. Why do functions need parameters?
    Parameters give much of the reason functions are able to be recalled. Functions are little machines, and parameters are designed to achieve different results with those same mechanics.

1 What is a function parameter ?

A function parameter is a variable used in a function where the value is provided by the caller of the function. Function parameters are placed in between the parenthesis after the function identifier, with multiple parameters being separated by commas.(pass by value).

2 Why do functions need parameters ?

Parameters are the key mechanism by which functions can be written in a reusable way, as it allows them to perform tasks without knowing the specific input values ahead of time. Those input values are passed in as arguments by the caller.

A function parameter is a variable used in a function where the value is provided by the caller of the function. Function parameters are placed in between the parenthesis after the function identifier, with multiple parameters being separated by commas.

Why do functions need parameters? In many functions it need input in order to execute wanted code and return wanted value. If you want a function to add two numbers and then return the value, the function need input and this it gets from the parameters given in the parentheses after the function name.
double sum(double number1, double number2){
return number1+number2;
}

What is a function parameter?

  • a variable value passed to the function when the function is called

Why do functions need parameters?

  • to provide flexibility to functions and to alter their execution based on the variables outside the function itself

  1. a value passed to the function when called.
  2. to make them more generic and useable by calling pieces of code.

  1. 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

2.We do that via function parameters and arguments.

1. function parameters are the variables passed to functions. 2. functions don't need to have parameters however parameters are useful for passing values to functions so they can perform tasks with those values.

  2. Why do functions need parameters? Parameters provide variables for accepting arguments/values from the calling function/s. This makes functions reusable, because different calling functions can provide different arguments (or input values).

So we can create functions that take data as input

1 A variable used in a function where the value is provided by the caller of the function.

2 Not mandatory, we can have functions that don’t need parameters to be passed, but having them can help passing parameters through functions, then getting results you require.

  1. A parameter in a function is a variable that will take any value passed into it. Then uses it to run the function and return a value.
  2. Functions need parameters to accept different values and process them according to an infinite number of scenarios.
