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
