Differences between parameter & argument? Please.

Question

What is the differences between both?

Answer 1

Parameters are the values that a function asks for. Ex:
def example(x, y) #Wants/has 2 parameters, x and y.

Arguments are the values themselves, that are sent to a function.
example(17, 15) #Sends 2 arguments, 17 and 15.

Answer 2

Parameter is variable in the declaration of function/method

Argument is the actual value of this variable that gets passed to function/method

Answer 3

void func(int a){} - a is parameter

func(5) - when call func , 5 is argument

Answer 4

function Hello(a,b)
{ alert(a+b);}
a and b are the parameters for the function,they have no values yet.

Hello(5,8);
5 and 8 serve as values for a,b they are arguments
//output 5+8==13
