What are arguments

Question

It's a silly question but i really need an answer

Answer 1

A Python function argument is a value you pass by assignment to a function parameter under a function call. The parameter become a local variable inside the function:

def f(x): return x ** 2 # Here x is a parameter in the function head.

res = f(10) # Here the value 10 becomes the argument to the function, and is assigned to the parameter x (like x = 10). Now the passed argument can be used inside the functions body, so x ** 2 will become 10 ** 2.

Sometime even the parameter above is called argument.
