= Parameter (computer programming)
{wiki=Parameter_(computer_programming)}
In computer programming, a **parameter** is a special kind of variable that is used to pass information between functions or procedures. When a function is defined, parameters serve as placeholders for the values (known as arguments) that will be passed to the function when it is called. This allows functions to be more flexible and reusable by performing operations on various inputs without needing to hard-code values.
