Learn Function Basics - Learn Function Basics Lesson A

Tell us what’s happening:

Is that answer right? I thought its the name of the function!

The question is:

What does the parameter in the function favoriteAnimal represent in the context of JavaScript functions?

The actual value that is used when calling the function.

A placeholder for the value that will be passed to the function when it is called.

The name of the function.

The result of the function execution.

And the function is:

function favoriteAnimal(animal) {
  return animal + " is my favorite animal!"
}

console.log(favoriteAnimal('Goat'));

The one between the parenthesis animal
