Argument

For example:

js
                                    
                                        const
                                        argument1 =
                                        "Web"
                                        ;
                                        const
                                        argument2 =
                                        "Development"
                                        ;
                                        example
                                        (
                                        argument1,
                                        argument2)
                                        ;
                                        // passing two arguments
                                        // This function takes two values
                                        function
                                        example
                                        (
                                        
                                            parameter1,
                                            parameter2
                                        
                                        )
                                        {
                                        console.
                                        log
                                        (
                                        parameter1)
                                        ;
                                        // Output = "Web"
                                        console.
                                        log
                                        (
                                        parameter2)
                                        ;
                                        // Output = "Development"
                                        }
                                    
                                

The argument order within the function call should be the same as the parameters order in the function definition.

js
                                    
                                        const
                                        argument1 =
                                        "foo"
                                        ;
                                        const
                                        argument2 =
                                        [

                                        ,
                                        3
                                        ]
                                        ;
                                        example

                                        argument1,
                                        argument2)
                                        ;
                                        // passing two arguments
                                        // This function takes a single value, so the second argument passed is ignored
                                        function
                                        example
                                        (
                                        parameter
                                        )
                                        {
                                        console.
                                        log
                                        (
                                        parameter)
                                        ;
                                        // Output = foo
                                        }
