3. Add Parameter

The steps for adding the parameter are almost the same as the first time we did it (ha ha, we could write a method to do it with a parameter!). Here they are:

Step 1: With the dance in the middle method showing in the code viewing area, click on the create new parameter button, on the right of the screen.

Step 2: Call the new parameter turns.

Step 3: Select Number from the Type radio buttons - and then click OK. (So this is an example of using a numeric parameter value - before, we used Object to indicate any of the characters in our world.)

Now you should see a turns parameter right at the top of the code pane, next to the dancer parameter, as shown here.

[Q5.3.1] Why do you think we selected Number as the type of the parameter?
