# --description--
|
|
|
|
<dfn>Parameters</dfn> are variables that act as placeholders for the values that are to be input to a function when it is called. When a function is defined, it is typically defined along with one or more parameters. The actual values that are input (or <dfn>"passed"</dfn>) into a function when it is called are known as <dfn>arguments</dfn>.
|
|
|
|
Here is a function with two parameters, `param1` and `param2`:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
function testFun(param1, param2) {
|
|
console.log(param1, param2);
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then we can call `testFun` like this: `testFun("Hello", "World");`. We have passed two string arguments, `Hello` and `World`. Inside the function, `param1` will equal the string `Hello` and `param2` will equal the string `World`. Note that you could call `testFun` again with different arguments and the parameters would take on the value of the new arguments.

# --instructions--
|
|
|
|
<ol><li>Create a function called <code>functionWithArgs</code> that accepts two arguments and outputs their sum to the dev console.</li><li>Call the function with two numbers as arguments.</li></ol>
|
|
|
|
# --hints--
|
|
|
|
`functionWithArgs` should be a function.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert(typeof functionWithArgs === 'function');
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`functionWithArgs(1,2)` should output `3`.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
if (typeof functionWithArgs === 'function') {
|
|
capture();
|
|
functionWithArgs(1, 2);
|
|
uncapture();
|
|
}
|
|
assert(logOutput == 3);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`functionWithArgs(7,9)` should output `16`.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
if (typeof functionWithArgs === 'function') {
|
|
capture();
|
|
functionWithArgs(7, 9);
|
|
uncapture();
|
|
}
|
|
assert(logOutput == 16);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You should call `functionWithArgs` with two numbers after you define it.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert(
|
|
/functionWithArgs\([-+]?\d*\.?\d*,[-+]?\d*\.?\d*\)/.test(
|
|
code.replace(/\s/g, '')
|
|
)
|
|
);
|
|
```
|
