### Line 4 ### Line 4
When a function is passed parameters, up to 8 of them can be found in the first 8 scratch registers (`x0` through `x7`). For example, recall: When a function is passed parameters, up to 8 of them can be found in the first 8 scratch registers (`x0` through `x7`). For example, recall:
