			Functions can have arbitrarily defined arguments defined in the opening line and subsequently used within the body of the function. Your parameters can be called any valid Lua name.

			Below is a simple function without arguments, followed by another function that calls on the first:

			function MyAddon_Mimic()
			DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("Hello World!")
			end

			function MyAddon_Call()
			MyAddon_Mimic()
			end

			Now the same function with arguments (you can define any number of arguments):

			function MyAddon_Mimic(arg1)
			DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("Hello " .. arg1)
			end

			function MyAddon_Call()
			MyAddon_Mimic("Buddy!")
			end

			Whereas the first example would've simply printed "Hello World!" to the chat window, the second example will now print "Hello Buddy!" However, arg1 is a pretty non-discriptive argument name (and we only used one). Let's try something more interesting:

			function MyAddon_Mimic(who, send)
			local posX, posY = [[API GetPlayerMapPosition\|GetPlayerMapPosition]](who);
			if send==1 then
			DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage(who .. " is currently at location " .. posX .. "," .. posY)
			end
			end

			function MyAddon_Call()
			MyAddon_Mimic("player", 1)
			MyAddon_Mimic("party1", 1)
			MyAddon_Mimic("party2", 0)
			end

			Here, our little addon will now print the location of our player and our first party member, but while it will get the location of party member 2, it won't print it.

Functions can have arbitrarily defined arguments defined in the opening line and subsequently used within the body of the function. Your parameters can be called any valid Lua name.

Below is a simple function without arguments, followed by another function that calls on the first:

function MyAddon_Mimic()
DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("Hello World!")
end

function MyAddon_Call()
MyAddon_Mimic()
end

Now the same function with arguments (you can define any number of arguments):

function MyAddon_Mimic(arg1)
DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("Hello " .. arg1)
end

function MyAddon_Call()
MyAddon_Mimic("Buddy!")
end

Whereas the first example would've simply printed "Hello World!" to the chat window, the second example will now print "Hello Buddy!" However, arg1 is a pretty non-discriptive argument name (and we only used one). Let's try something more interesting:

function MyAddon_Mimic(who, send)
local posX, posY = [[API GetPlayerMapPosition|GetPlayerMapPosition]](who);
if send==1 then
DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage(who .. " is currently at location " .. posX .. "," .. posY)
end
end

function MyAddon_Call()
MyAddon_Mimic("player", 1)
MyAddon_Mimic("party1", 1)
MyAddon_Mimic("party2", 0)
end

Here, our little addon will now print the location of our player and our first party member, but while it will get the location of party member 2, it won't print it.
