4.  Call the Function:
                     o  To use the function, you need to “call” it. Drag and drop a “call movePlayer” block (or whatever
                       you named your function) where you want the function’s code to be executed.

                  Function Arguments and Parameters

                  A function is a block of code designed to perform a specific task. It can take inputs, process them,
                  and return an output. Functions help to organize code, make it reusable, and improve readability. A
                  function may accept different values in the form of:
                     Parameter: A variable defined in a function’s definition. It’s like a placeholder for a value that
                     will be passed to the function when it’s called.

                     Argument: The actual value passed to a function when it’s called. It fills in the placeholders
                     defined by the parameters.
                  Let us create a project that demonstrates the use of function block for calculating area of a rectangle
                  using parameters and arguments. Prepare the project in MakeCode Arcade as shown below:
