# Function Parameters
|
||||
|
||||
How to use parameters to pass info in and out of an function.
|
||||
|
||||
### @parent js/function
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
A [function](/js/function) can have multiple input parameters and/or a single output parameter. The parameters must be one of the supported variable [types](/js/types).
|
||||
|
||||
When you first [create a function](/js/function), it looks like this:
|
||||
```
|
||||
export function doStuff() {
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Add a function parameter
|
||||
|
||||
1. Open your script (if needed) and then click `script` in the upper-right corner.
|
||||
|
||||
2. Under **code** click your function name.
|
||||
|
||||
3. Click the function name in your code (this opens the function panel).
|
||||
|
||||
4. Click **add input parameter** or **add output parameter**. The parameter is added to your function.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Input parameters
|
||||
|
||||
The default type for an input parameter is [Number](/reference/types/number):
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
export function oneInput(p: number) {
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
To change the default type, click the type ([Number](/reference/types/number) in this case) and change it to [String](/reference/types/string), [Boolean](/reference/types/boolean), or [Image](/reference/image/image). You can add multiple input parameters to a function.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Output parameter
|
||||
|
||||
the default type for an output parameter is [Number](/reference/types/number):
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
export function output() : number {
|
||||
let r: number
|
||||
return 42
|
||||
return r
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
To change the default type, click the type ([Number](/reference/types/number) in this case) and change it to [String](/reference/types/string), [Boolean](/reference/types/boolean), or [Image](/reference/image/image).
|
||||
|
||||
### Inputs and output function
|
||||
|
||||
The following sample function has two inputs and one output parameter (all are the Number type):
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
export function inputsAndOutput(p: number, q: number) : number {
|
||||
let r: number
|
||||
return p + q
|
||||
return r
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
