Once one has an algorithm for estimating the Gaussian function parameters, it is also important to know how accurate those estimates are.
There was no significant difference in cytokine production, NK cell activity or other immune function parameters between the two groups.
In most languages, function parameters have local scope.
Structures (and pointers to structures) may also be used as function parameter and return types.
In fact, a function parameter declared with an array type is treated like one declared to be a pointer.
Now, if that function parameter was "factorial", then this helper function would calculate the factorial.
Another alternative is to share state between the functions through function parameters, most often passing references as arguments to avoid the cost of copying.
Programming languages that support function pointers as function parameters can emulate higher-order functions.
Of course, you'll have to make adjustments for function parameters and results returned.
Implicit function parameters that have dynamic scope.
