Parameter

/pəˈræm.ɪ.tər/

noun — “the rules of engagement your functions follow when doing their job.”

Parameter is a variable used to pass information into functions, methods, or procedures in programming. It defines the input a function expects and allows for dynamic behavior based on the data provided. For example, in Python, you might define a function like def greet(name):, where name is a parameter that the function uses to customize its output.
