Procedural parameter

A procedural parameter is a type of information that a computer program needs in order to carry out a certain task. It's like giving instructions to the computer on how it should do something. For example, you might have a program that draws a picture on the screen. The procedural parameter could tell the computer what color to use to draw the picture, how big the picture should be, or where on the screen it should be drawn.
