It tells the number of arguments passed to the function.
It tells the data types of each of the passed arguments.
Also it tells the order in which the arguments are passed to the function.
#include
int timesTwo(int num);    // function
prototype int main()
{
int number,response; 
cout<<"Please enter a number:"; 
cin>>number;
response = timesTwo(number);    //
function call
cout<<"The answer is"<
return 0;
}
//timesTwo function 
int timesTwo (int num)
{
int answer;    //local variable 
answer = 2*num; 
return(answer);
}
