Definition:
A parameter list is a sequence of parameter declarations separated by semicolons and enclosed in parentheses. Each declaration is a comma-delimited series of parameter names, followed in most cases by a colon and a type identifier, and in some cases by the = symbol and a default value. Parameter names must be valid identifiers. Any declaration can be preceded by one of the reserved words var, const, and out
