Study Notes

Functions in Programming

  • Functions group code for reusability, avoiding repetition.
  • Declared using function keyword, followed by name, parentheses, and code block.

Parameters and Arguments

  • Parameters are variables within a function definition.
  • Arguments provide values when a function is called, enabling different input data each time.
  • This flexibility improves code efficiency and organization.
