Wk 20 Function with Parameters

What is a parameter in a function?

• A value returned by a function

• A named value provided as input to a function

• A variable used to store the result of a function

• A value passed to a function for execution

Why is it useful to write a function with parameters?

• To generalize the behavior of the function

• To limit the functionality of the function

• To make the function harder to read

• To make the function more complicated

What does a parameter act as in a function?

• A constant value for the function

• A placeholder for a value

• A container for the function result

• A variable for the function input

How can you add multiple parameters to a function?

• By separating them with semicolons

• By using a separate function for each parameter

• By separating them with commas

• By using a different function for each parameter

What is the purpose of using parameters in a function?

• To limit the functionality of the function

• To remove the need for duplicate code

• To make the function harder to read

• To complicate the function

What is the benefit of using parameters in a function?

• It makes the function more complicated

• It leads to programs that are harder to maintain

• It limits the flexibility of the function

• It removes the need for creating duplicate code

What should you consider when naming a parameter in a function?

• It should be a long descriptive sentence

• It should give insight into what the value will be used for

• It should be a single letter

• It should be a random word

How do you refer to the value of a parameter in the body of a function?

• By using the keyword 'value'

• By using the keyword 'parameter'

• By using the name of the function

• By using the name of the parameter

With our robotics code, what parameters make sense?

• time and speed

• forward and backward

• left and right

• blink red light

In our robotics code, what functions have we created?

• move forward, backward, left, right

• motor pins AIN and BIN

• drive in a circle

• move out of box, return to box
