About parameters: you use parameters to send values(bool, int, float) to functions which will work to do actions. This values will return "new" values depending what your function do. you can see more here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/0f66670z.aspx

About enum you can see here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/sbbt4032.aspx

Enum is used to give meaningfull names to numbers.

for example, when we need to store the sex of a person, we can store it as 0 or 1. But this doesn't make sense. So we create an enum for sex.

enum Sex { Man, Woman };

from now on, we can use Sex.Man instead of 0 and Sex.Woman instead of 1. Compiler understands and translates our enum to assembly code as a number.

Btw, these are very basics of programming. I think you shouldn't ask this in here. You can use StackOverflow or other programming platforms.
