How to call a function with parameters from another function in aura jsController of a components

Hello everybody!

I have a component that has a jsController. Inside the controller there my "doInit" function. 

I also have created another  function with 4 parameters

printFunction : function ( param1, patam2, param3, param4){
.......
}

Is there a way to call printFunction having also defined the parameters,  from  inside "doInit" function?

Thanks in advance!

Here is an example that I found online  
<aura:component>
    <!--Component Start-->
    <div class="slds-m-around_xx-large">
        <lightning:button variant="Brand" class="slds-button" label="Submit" onclick="{!c.methodOne}"/>
    </div>
    <!--Component End-->
</aura:component>
({
    //Method One
    methodOne : function(component, event, helper){
        //Call methodTwo from methodone
        var action = component.get('c.methodTwo');
        $A.enqueueAction(action);
    },
     
    //Method Two
    methodTwo : function(component, event, helper){
        alert('Method 2');
    }
})
I also recommend reviewing the following posts

Lightning - JS controller invoking its own method

Call another method from a method in the same Lightning controller

hmm.. the problem i see is that method2 has not custom parameters. I want method2 to be like this :
method2 : function (name, lastname ,age, height){
}

I think i found the solution to one of the links you send though... 
You cannot create a custom parameter function i Js Controller, ONLY in helper. So in my situation i did something like :

JsController :
({
doInit : function(component, event, helper){
         var name = 'alex';
         var lastname ='johnson';
         var age = 30;
         var height = 190;
         helper.method2(component, event, name, lastname, age, height);
},
})

helper:
({
method2 : function (component, event, name , lastname, age, height){
.............
}
})



And it worked. Thank you for information
 
Have a good one!
