Difference between arguments and parameters

Hi all.
Most people use arguments and parameters interchangeably.
But technically they are not the same.

What are arguments

In simple words:

• arguments are data/values that are passed to a function when you call them.

# define the functiondef add(a, b):    ...add the values# call the functionadd(2, 4)# 2 and 4 are the arguments.# they are the values the function will manipulate.

What are parameters

In simple words:

• parameters are dummy names you pass/give a function when you are defining it.

# Example in pythondef add(a, b):    ...add the values# a and b are the parameters for the function# they just acts as a placeholder.
