Parameter
A variable in a function definition. Used as a placeholder for values that will be passed through the function.
Argument
The value passed to the parameter
Return
Used to return the flow of control to the point where the function (also known as a procedure) was called and to return the value of the expression
Procedural abstraction
Allows a procedure to be used only knowing what it does, not how it does it. Allows a solution to a large problem to be based on the solution of smaller subproblems. This is accomplished by creating functions (procedures) to solve each of the subproblems
Library
A group of functions (procedures) that may be used in creating new programs
Application Programming Interface (API)
Specifications for how functions in a library behave and can be used
