bookPassing Data into Functions

We can pass data into functions using parameters:

function funcName(parameter1, parameter2, ...) {
  // your code here…
}

A parameter acts like a local variable inside the function. However, it takes up the value of the corresponding argument that is passed into the function at the function call.

function sum(a, b) { console.log(a + b); } sum(1, 2); // Output: 3 sum(5, 10); // Output: 15 sum(20, 30); // Output: 50 sum(33, 37); // Output: 70

  • An argument is the actual value passed into a function when calling it:
    • Example: In sum(1, 2), the values 1 and 2 are arguments;
  • A parameter is a placeholder inside the function definition that receives the argument’s value:
    • Example: In function sum(a, b), a and b are parameters.

A function in which other functions are called is known as a compound function. A compound function combines smaller functions to accomplish a larger task.
