### Remarks

Throws an `IndexOutOfRangeException` when the index is not in the range from greater than or equal to 0 to less than [Animator.parameterCount](/engine/6000.5/script-reference/unityengine/animator/parametercount.md).

```csharp
using UnityEngine;

// This example demonstrates how to use the Animator.GetParameter method to get information about the parameters of an Animator controller.
[RequireComponent(typeof(Animator))]
public class GetParameterExample : MonoBehaviour
{
    Animator m_Animator;

    void Start()
    {
        m_Animator = GetComponent<Animator>();

        for (var i = 0; i < m_Animator.parameterCount; i++)
        {
            var parameter = m_Animator.GetParameter(i);
            Debug.Log($"Parameter {i}: {parameter.name} ({parameter.type})");
        }
    }
}
```
