def add(x,y): return x+y add(4,3) The top is a simple function that takes 2 arguments. An x value and a y value. The bottom is calling that function. Notice when I call the add() function I am calling it with two integers. a 4 and a 3. When the function runs, it assigns the arguments 4 and 3 to the x and y variables

An argument is any value given to a variable when a function is called. Here's an example: def mult(x,y): return x * y print(mult(5,3)) In that example, 5 and 3 would be the arguments passed through the function mult. Hope this helped! d:
