Several parameters — Functions

5. Several parameters

A function can take several parameters, separated by commas. Arguments are matched to parameters by position:

a and b are parameters; 2 and 3 are positional arguments.
The first argument fills the first parameter, the second fills the second.
Order matters: subtract(10, 3) is not the same as subtract(3, 10).
The function needs one argument per parameter, unless a parameter has a default (next lesson).
