RE: Parameters
You want to use this value for a real purpose? Say you've made a rectangle in a sketch and want to assign this parameter to one of it's dimensions.
Make a length dimension in your sketch and double click it. In the window that pops up, right-click in the text box containing the dimension and choose "edit formula". The formula editor opens up. Click once on the parameter you've created in the tree. The parameter shows up in the parameter editor. Click OK and you're done.
There is no limit to what you can do with parameters if you're creative enough. There's more, but that's the bare bones.
