Difference between Arguments & Parameters

Parameter : Parameter represents a value which is to be passed while defining a function.

Usage:

     int sum(int a, int b)
     {
        return a+b;
     }

 In the above example a & b integer variables are parameters.


Argument: Argument represents a value which is passed to function while calling.

Usage:
     
   To find the sum of two numbers we can call the above function by passing values like below
    Calling sum(4,5) will give the sum of the numbers passed.
   Here 4 & 5 are called as arguments
