Digital Literacy - JavaScript function

After the name of a function in JavaScript, within the parentheses, what type parameters/inputs could one use? Is there a clear list of examples easily available?

I am customizing my HTML/CSS/JavaScript project and would like to go a bit beyond what is being taught right now:

Example of code: <script type="text/javascript"> function doggybark() { document.getElementById('doggybark').play(); }

Typical parameters to functions can include numbers, boolean values, strings, arrays, complex objects, and other functions. Anything that can be represented by a variable can be a function parameter.

Have you any programming experience in other languages? It's probably similar, but perhaps a bit more extensive (depending on the other language).

Thank you Steven, this will help guide me into some additional research. I tend to get ahead of what I am learning sometimes.

In the past I had some Wordpress, Flash coding, Dreamweaver, and HTML/CSS lessens, but nothing extensive. I have decided to dive more into details by utilizing these courses.

I appreciate your quick response!
