Deep Dive: Parameters
Parameters are the inputs a subprogram receives:
function calculateArea(length, width)
area = length * width
return area
endfunction
// Calling with arguments:
result = calculateArea(5, 3) // result = 15
Arguments are the actual values passed when calling (5 and 3 above)
Parameters are the variable names in the definition (length and width)
