I don't understand the difference between parameters and arguments, if they're both being sent to a function to be processed, and they're both variables, what's the difference?

Answer 1

when you are defining a function, you say what parameters it would work with.
example: density(mass, volume).

when you call that function, you replace each parameter with an actual value. these actual values are the arguments.

say you want to calculate the density of a ball of mass 12kg and volume 4m³, you call the function 'density' with the arguments 12 and 4, like so:

density(12, 4);

Answer 2

no parameter is called when we are declaring function writing its prototype whereas arguments word is used while calling out that function

Answer 3

Argument is used to specify the value passed.
Parameter is used to specify the type and the variable which will hold the value

Answer 4

oh wait, the argument is a value and the parameter is a variable. Is that it?
