What is the difference between arguments and parameter?

Answer 1

A parameter is a variable in a method definition. When a method is called, the arguments are the data you pass into the method's parameters. Parameter is variable in the declaration of function. Argumentis the actual value of this variable that gets passed to function.

Ex:
function test(param1, param2)
{ return param1+param2; }
test(5,6);

Here param1 and param2 are parameters and 5 and 6 are arguments

Answer 2

Though I don't know C++ or C but in python parameter is used for creating a functions and use it to perform operations and arguments are used outside the function to use that function

Answer 3

A method has parameters
void AMethod(int x) -> int x is a parameter

int x = 3;
AMethod(x) -> x which has the value 3 is a argument

similar with
class which is the description
and object which is a instance.
