What is an 'argument'?

Answer 1

An "argument" is a series of statements to persuade someone to accept a conclusion.

Perhaps the most well-known examples of arguments are the statements lawyers make -- on behalf of the plaintiff and the defendent -- to a judge and jury in a courtroom.

Occasionally people use the euphemism "argument" to refer to a much more emotional event -- a dispute, quarrel,

When two people fight with words.

(In computer programming, an "argument" means something very different -- see the "What is an 'argument'?" question for more details).

Answer 2

ArgumentsAn 'argument' is simply a string or real number that you input in a script or function to make it do what you want. Take a look at the code below: (Arguments are listed in bold)

draw_set_color(c_red);

draw_sprite(sprite_index,0,x,y);

repeat(3)

x += lengthdir_x(10,sprite_index);

Although it can also be used in scripts or libraries:

Ex:

Script: Initialize

self.hp = arugument0;

self.x = (irandom(room_width/32))*32;

self.y = (irandom(room_height/32))*32;

self.allied = false;

self.attack = arugument1;

You would enter the values in the action block(so you would not have to write new code each time), it works the same way.

Answer 3

An argumentation is an inference based on reasoning from given propositions.
