## A winning argument

### Arguments
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We mentioned it before with methods, functions can take arguments. They are
|
|
|
|
always in between parens `()`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Let's use the same examples that we used for function calls:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Remember this example of function call ?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
|
|
// ↙ method
|
|
|
|
console.log('Hello There !') //<-
|
|
|
|
// ↖ The String 'Hello There!' is
|
|
|
|
// the argument of console.log()
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
or these ones ?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
|
|
let roundedValue = Math.round(1.8) // The number 1.8 is the arg
|
|
|
|
console.log(roundedValue) // the variable roundedValue is the arg
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We are now going to adapt `myFirstFuntion` so that it takes one argument :
|
|
|
|
`arg1`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
|
|
let myFirstFunction = (arg1) => {
|
|
|
|
//<-arg1 is inputed in between the parens
|
|
|
|
console.log(arg1) // arg1 can be use inside the scope of the function
|
|
|
|
// ↖ arg1 is "transfered" to be the arg of console.log()
|
|
|
|
} //<-end of the scope of the function
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Now the function if called, display the output the `console.log(arg1)`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
|
|
myFirstFunction('using my first arg') // "using my first arg"
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
But let's say we want to change what the function logs. Now, instead of
|
|
|
|
modifying `myFirstFunction` we just need to modify the argument in the function
|
|
|
|
call.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
|
|
myFirstFunction('another arg') // "another arg"
|
|
|
|
myFirstFunction('and another one') // "and another one"
|
|
|
|
myFirstFunction('and one more') // "and one more"
|
|
|
|
```
|

### Instructions
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You are a general's aide who has to transmit the communications to the other
|
|
|
|
soldiers.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In order to do so you will create the function `battleCry`. This function will
|
|
|
|
take one argument and will display it in the console.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The battlefield is big so make sure that the argument is uppercased before
|
|
|
|
displaying it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Now, sometimes the communications will have to given quietly.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For this you will create the function `secretOrders` which does the same as
|
|
|
|
`battleCry` except that it lowercases the argument before sending it.
