Module Invocation Parameters Tracing the Execution of Instructionswith the Activation Stack Module Invocation Parameters As Modules are Invoked algorithm Nonsense // dummy alg to show calls this_var isoftype Num this_var - 6 this_var - Square(this_var) Output_Results(this_var) endalgorithm // Nonsense Use parameters to specify which of your variables you wish to have communicate with the subroutine you are calling. In this case, this_var is being passed first to function Square, and then is passed to procedure Output_Results. As Modules are Declared function Square returnsa Num (the_num isoftype in Num) // returns the square of the_num Square returns (the_num * the_num) endfunction procedure Output_Results (answer isoftype in Num) // prints out answer with text message print(“The answer is”, answer) endprocedure Each parameter variable has two types: a parameter type and a data type Each function also has its own data type specifying the type of data of its result Specifying Multiple Parameters function Min returnsa Num (num_one, num_two, num_three isoftype in Num) //returns smallest of three numbers if ((num_one = num_two) AND (num_one = num_three )) then Min returns num_one elseif ((num_two = num_three ) AND (num_two = num_one)) then Min returns num_two else Min returns num_three endif endfunction Using Multiple Parameters In use… algorithm Example small, medium, large, smallest isoftype Num small - 4 medium - 6 large - 34 smallest - Min(small, medium, large) print(“The smallest is”, smallest) endalgorithm Formal Parameter Lists In the declaration header: function Min returnsa Num (num_one,num_two,num_three isoftype in Num) the formal parameter list (parameter variables and their types are declared here) Actual
