PROCEDURES WHICH ACCEPT ARGUMENTS
Procedures may also accept variables (data) to work with when they are called.

Declaring the variables within the procedure

Calling the procedure and Passing variables (or values) to it

Consider the following program example,


	program ADD_NUMBERS (input, output);

	procedure CALC_ANSWER ( first, second : integer );
	var   result : integer;
	begin
	      result := first + second;
	      writeln('Answer is ', result )
	end;

	var   number1, number2 : integer;
	begin
	      writeln('Please enter two numbers to add together');
	      readln( number1, number2 );
	      CALC_ANSWER( number1, number2)
	end.


SELF TEST ON PROCEDURES WHICH ACCEPT PARAMETERS
The output is?

	program  TestValue (output);
	var  x, y : integer;

	procedure  NoEffect ( x, y : integer );
	begin
	    x := y;  y := 0;
	    writeln( x, y )
	end;

	begin
	    x := 1;  y := 2;
	    writeln( x, y );
	    NoEffect( x, y );
	    writeln( x, y )
	end.
