3,646 Pointsconst greeting = "Welcome to Next Gen Universe";
function printWelcome(stringArgument){
console.log(stringArgument);
}
printWelcome(greeting);
stringArgument in this is a argument parameter, of course it's hardly likely to name it this but just so you understand what's going on. Try out this code if you don't see it.
