使い方のコツ

Parameter is most commonly used in technical, scientific, or business contexts to describe the 'rules' or 'limits' of a situation. It is almost always used in its plural form (parameters) when referring to general guidelines.

⚠️

よくある間違い

Learners often use 'parameter' when they mean 'perimeter' (physical distance around a shape). Additionally, avoid using it simply as a fancy word for 'feature'; it should specifically imply a limit or a defining variable.
