Well done, you gain a good understanding of the code by reading it. This is a very important skill as it allows you to quickly understand how a piece of code is intended to work.

Another way to see this is also that in the wrong syntax example, we are passing the argument to the function when declaring the function. Instead we pass arguments to functions when we call the function, and pass parameters to function when we declare a function. This is a small but important distinction specifically when discussing code with other developers!

Oh I didn't know, thank you for explaining to me. I'll keep learning

Again if we go back to the above comment, this function is missing a parameter, thus passing an argument to it will simply be ignored. In other programming languages passing an argument to a function which does not have parameters will throw an exception.
