Parameters

The term parameter is used as a generic term to refer to all numerical variables in Tao. There are floating point and integer parameters and the latter are declared as either being of type Integer, Counter or Flag. These types are only used to make the intended function of a particular integer variable clear to the human reader. As far as the system is concerned they are functionally identical.
