Understanding Functions and Parameters

What is the primary purpose of using functions in programming?

• To make the code harder to understand

• To increase the complexity of the code

• To perform repetitive tasks efficiently

• To make a program run faster

What is a parameter in the context of functions?

• A variable used outside the function

• A function that calls another function

• An extra piece of information passed to a function

• A type of loop

How can parameters help in combining similar functions?

• By allowing the same function to handle different tasks

• By making functions run slower

• By making the code longer

• By removing the need for functions

What is the benefit of using a descriptive name for a parameter?

• It increases the execution time

• It helps in understanding the purpose of the parameter

• It makes the code harder to read

• It is required by the programming language

How do parameters enhance the flexibility of a function?

• By increasing the number of lines in the code

• By limiting the function to a single task

• By making the function dependent on specific elements

• By allowing the function to work with new elements without rewriting
