Description
A parameter is the variable and its value inside the definition of a function or process that is received from the calling environment. The value passed on when calling the function or process is called an argument.
If you use the same name as a local variable for a parameter, it will not make a new variable, but use the local variable instead. This means that passed arguments will modify the local variable. This is commonly used for x, y and graph.
Notes
There currently is a limit of 15 parameters that can be used per function or process.
Example
Process Main() Private int argument = 3; Begin my_proc( argument ); End Process my_proc( int parameter ) Begin //statements End
