Argument

Argument

• An input to a function. A variable that affects a functions result.

Example: imagine a function that works out the height of a tree:
h(year) = 20 × year,
then "year" is an argument of the function "h".


• In everyday English can mean a heated discussion, or reasoning used to prove something.

Example: Sam provided an argument that using proper ingredients can make a pizza healthy.
