If you read the tutorial on functions, you should know what a function is. But, do you know that functions can take arguments? Let me show you.

function Test(one,two,three)
y = two + three
x = one * 5
return x + y
end

Notice the three things inside the parentheses. Now, say we put in the numbers 1,2,3. Then, x + y would equal 10. Look at this, it might help you.

function Test(1,2,3)
y = 2 + 3
x = 1 * 5
return x + y
end

Since y = 5 and x = 5, it will return 10. Easy huh? Here's another example.

function print(x,y,text,)
screen:print(x,y,text,bluer)
end

This creates a custom print function. So instead of doing this:

screen:print(10,10,"Hello",blue)

You can do this:

print(10,10,"Hello")

Arguments are easy to use, but you will use them often. Hopefully this helped you a little bit.
