Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Graduate 17,883 PointsYou can use whatever parameter name you want. It does not need to be "arr". He used "arr' just as an abbreviation for "array" since, in this example, we are passing in an array. The argument you pass in when calling the function (In this case "Playlist" will be assigned the parameter name "arr" just for use in this function). You then can use the assigned parameter name in the function code block to call the array argument passed into the function.
Hope this helps.
