This is what's confusing me. If you declare an argument, say 'test' and I pass it into the function, isn't it's value 'argument.test'?
If I then declare a simple variable 'test', isn't a different variable than 'arguments.test'? Or, when declaring a function, do I not need to use the 'argument.' prefix to reference it? Basically, is 'arguments.test' the same as 'test'? If so, it's new to me. I thought they were different.
