Then, the arguments of the call are <i>passed</i> to the function,
which means that they are <a href="#Assignment_statements">assigned</a>
to their corresponding function parameters,
and the called function begins execution.
The return parameters of the function are passed
back to the caller when the function returns.

Calling a <code>nil</code> function value

- Replaced Boolean-pointer-helper functions with the `k8s.io/utils/ptr` implementations. ([#132794](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/132794), [@PatrickLaabs](https://github.com/PatrickLaabs)) [SIG API Machinery, Auth, CLI, Node and Testing]

- api-machinery utility functions `SetTransportDefaults` and `DialerFor` once again respect custom Dial functions set on transports ([#65547](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/65547), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))

- The `WaitFor` and `WaitForWithContext` functions in the wait package have now been marked private. Callers should use the equivalent `Poll*` method with a zero duration interval.

### API Change

- Fixed a bug where CEL expressions in CRD validation rules would incorrectly compute a high estimated cost for functions that return strings, lists or maps.
  The incorrect cost was evident when the result of a function was used in subsequent operations. ([#119807](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/119807), [@jpbetz](https://github.com/jpbetz)) [SIG API Machinery, Auth and Cloud Provider]

- Updated `applyconfiguration-gen` to generate extract functions for all subresources. ([#132665](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/132665), [@mrIncompetent](https://github.com/mrIncompetent))

- Fixed a bug where CEL expressions in CRD validation rules would incorrectly compute a high estimated cost for functions that return strings, lists or maps.
  The incorrect cost was evident when the result of a function was used in subsequent operations. ([#119800](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/119800), [@jpbetz](https://github.com/jpbetz)) [SIG API Machinery, Auth and Cloud Provider]

*   Apply algorithm in scheduler by feature gates. ([#52723](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/52723),[ @k82cn](https://github.com/k82cn))

- Expand scheduler priority functions and scheduling framework plugins' node score range to [0, 100]. Note: this change is internal and does not affect extender and RequestedToCapacityRatio custom priority, which are still expected to provide a [0, 10] range. ([#83522](https://githu...
