	Formal parameter - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about Formal parameter
		For example, length is one parameter of a rectangle; its height is another.
		For example, if a programmer writes a routine for drawing a rectangle using general parameters for the length, height, line thickness, and so on, any rectangle can be drawn by this routine by giving different values to the parameters.
		Similarly, in a word-processing application that stores parameters for font, page layout, type of justification, and so on, these can be changed by the user.

	Named parameter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In computer programming, naming of parameters (or named parameters) means that the method signature clearly states the name (meaning) of each parameter.
		Note that the named parameters in Smalltalk and Objective-C refers to the syntactical presentation and not to the underlying implementation.
		Neither language supports named parameters in the sense that, for example, Python supports key=value parameters.

	Encyclopedia of Laser Physics and Technology - beam parameter product, BPP, beam quality, radius, divergence, far field
		The beam parameter product (BPP) of a laser beam is defined as the product of beam radius (measured at the beam waist) and the beam divergence half-angle (measured in the far field).
		The BPP is often used to specify the beam quality of a laser beam: the higher the beam parameter product, the lower the beam quality.
		The smallest possible beam parameter product is then achieved with a diffraction-limited Gaussian beam; it is λ/π.
