What's the difference between "Parameters" and "Arguments" in methods of JAVA ?

Question

Differentiate them by using an example.
Is arguments and parameter values are same ?
If both are same why they named different .

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.

public void MyMethod(string myParam) { } ... string myArg1 = "this is my argument"; myClass.MyMethod(myArg1);

Answer 2

harigopal199 Parameters are the variables declared in method headers. Arguments are what you actually pass into said method

public static int example(int parameters)
{
return 0;
}
public static void main (String[] args)
{
int argument = 0;
Class.example(argument);
}

Answer 3

A parameter is a variable in the declaration of the function...and Argument is the actual value of the variable that get passed to the function when invoked....
