When you write a method parameters can be used to pass information to the method. This information can be used and changed within the method without affecting the original values. This allows your method more flexibility.
In the example program I have created a World.lightOn method that takes 4 parameters
Type Name Use
Boolean fromDark If true turn brightness to 0 before starting.
Number time Time to take to change the brightness.
Number maxBrightness How bright to make the light.
Color lightColor What color the light gives off.
So using this new method you can change the light intensity and color by changing the parameters passed in.
Hope this helps
