231,264 PointsAn "argument" is simply a value passed to a function when it is called, for examples:
-
setColor("red");
the string "red" is the argument -
largest = max(price, 32);
price and 32 are arguments

231,264 PointsA "parameter" is the name used as a placeholder for an argument in the definition of a function:
function setColor(choice) {
choice is a parameterfunction max(val1, val2) {
val1 and val2 are parametersI'm not sure what you mean by explaining constructors — did I explain them before some other way?
