I have a problem with understanding Arguements and Parameters. I already know a decent amount of scripting, but the only part I didn’t fully understand the use of, is Parameters and Arguements.

--Example (taken from a peasfactory scripting tutorial)

function add(var1, var2)
answer = (var1 + var2)
print(answer)
end

add(5,10)

--Alternate Solution
local var1 = 5
local var2 = 10

function add()
print (var1 + var2)
end

add()

Can someone give me an example that relies on Arguements and Parameters? Because, I’m confused. Oh, and try adding some comments so that I can understand.

Parameters

Parameters are a function's input variables. When you call the function, you pass what will be arguments.

Arguments

Arguments are a function's input values.

When you call a function, you pass these in between parentheses

Function using these:

local function divide(num1, num2)
	return num1/num2; --// divide the numbers received
end

print(divide(4, 2)); --> 2

Parameters are useful when your function needs to take anything. In my divide function, any numbers can go in between the parentheses. It doesn't have to be a specific number.

Finally, I do not recommend PeasFactory or alvinbloxx or any of those youtubers because his videos are outdated and he gives misinformation most of the time. I recommend PiL (Programming in Lua) and maybe the roblox wiki if you really wanted to.
