A given situation or experiment can be described by various features which we can call parameters. Let us say you are growing a plant. The plant receives a certain amount of water, a certain amount of sunlight, a certain amount of fertilizer, it is kept at a certain temperature. Any of those things can be changed, but if you are doing an agricultural experiment, you would only change one thing at a time, in order to obtain meaningful experimental results. If you changed two things at the same time, then the result would be hard to interpret. You increase water and fertilizer, the plant grows more. You would not know if the increased growth resulted from the increase in water, the increase in fertilizer, or both. So you only change one parameter at a time, and that is called the variable parameter because it varies.

What is variable parameter?
All parameters are variable.
What is difference between parameter and arbitrary constant?
A parameter is a variable which takes different values and, as it does, it affects the values of some other variable or variables.
What is THE variable parameter that changes a resut of changes to the manipulated or independent variable in experiment?
responding variable
What is the difference between a controlled parameter and a variable parameter?
controlled parameters the factor that stays the same in ALL groups variable parameters the factor(s) that change between control groups and variable groups
A special variable that receives a piece of data when a module is called?
parameter
What is the term used for the variable that receives an argument that is passed into a module?
parameter
What is the term used for the variable that receives an argument that passed into a module?
parameter
What is the term used for the variable that receives an argument that pass into a module?
parameter
What is a factor in a experiment that you measure to gather results?
It is a variable. The independent (manipulated) variable is the factor that is different between the control and experimental groups. The dependent variable is the difference resulting from the independent variable. The controlled variables are the factors that are not changed in the experiment between the control and experimental groups.
What is the control setup of an experiment?
only 1 parameter, or, variable, is manipulated at a time
What is call by refrence?
When calling a function, passing a variable's address as function parameter.
Will an attempt to pass a non-variable argument into a reference variable parameter will cause an error?
Yes. Why don't you try it? myfunction(int& a); myfunction(1); // error C2664: 'myfunction' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'int' to 'int &'
