Arguments the values you pass to the function when you are calling it. Parameters are local variables that are initialized with the values passed as arguments when a function is called. I.e.: parameters are values that a function need to do its job, and these parameters will have the values of the arguments you passed when you called the function.

consider a function, int func(int x,int y) - in this kinda situation, x and y are parameters ! But within main function when you're actually calling the func then whatever may be the data you're going to enter act as arguments!
