Hello I’d greatly appreciate it if someone could tell me what the brackets are for in Function(). I’ve watched function tutorials but they usually just go " we’ll skip the brackets for this video" And I havent been able to figure out what its for.

I’m watching a teleporter tutorial and during it he’s doing a thing with the brackets but I have no idea whats going on lol.
I want to actually learn and understand what im doing ya know so here it is

function Teleport(Player, NameOfModel, Tele)
	local Telepad = workspace[NameOfModel][Tele]
	Player.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 0
	Player.Humanoid.JumpPower = 0
	
	local Smoke = Instance.new("Smoke")
	Smoke.Name = "TeleSmoke"
	Smoke.Parent = Player.HumanoidRootPart
	
	wait(1)
	
	Player:MoveTo(Telepad.Position)
	Smoke:Destroy()
	Player.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 16
	Player.Humanoid.JumpPower = 50
end```

If I were to call the function:

function Teleport(Player, NameOfModel, Tele)
	local Telepad = workspace[NameOfModel][Tele]
	Player.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 0
	Player.Humanoid.JumpPower = 0
	
	local Smoke = Instance.new("Smoke")
	Smoke.Name = "TeleSmoke"
	Smoke.Parent = Player.HumanoidRootPart
	
	wait(1)
	
	Player:MoveTo(Telepad.Position)
	Smoke:Destroy()
	Player.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 16
	Player.Humanoid.JumpPower = 50
end

Teleport(var1, var2, var3)

Then I would transfer all info from the brackets(more so called parenthesis in programming language) to that function.
These are brackets:

These are where the variables will go:
