Answer / dev

The words argument and parameter are often used
interchangeably although the C++ Standard makes a clear
distinction between the two.

An argument is an expression in the comma-separated list in
a function call or the operand of a throw-statement

A parameter is an object or reference that is declared in a
function declaration or definition (or in the catch clause
of an exception handler);


This example demonstrates the difference between a
parameter and an argument:

void func(int n, Object obj); //n and obj are parameters

static void main(String s[])
{
Object p = new String("hi");
func(5, p); //5 and p are arguments
}

Answer / janet

while defining method,variables passed in the method are
called parameters.while using those methods,values passed
to those variables are called arguments.

Answer / dhawal

parameters are those that are passing to the method at the
time of defining the method but arguments are those which
are passed at the time of calling that method

Answer / venkatesh

Answer / pankaj kaundal

In the method and function declaring valiable with data type
is known as parameater it is a refrence type.
void sum(int x, int y)//is parameter
and when it call and passing value is known as argument
like
object o=new object();
o.sum(12,20);//it is argument

Answer / venkat

while we are declaring method this parameters
ex: public void test(int a,int b)
{}= this is parameters
while we are passing values through object refernce this
arguments
ex: A a=new A();
a.test(5,5);=this is arguments

Answer / sagar

Whenever we are define a method with objects or references or variables then that objects or references or variables are called as parameters.

Whenever we are calling using that method with their objects or references or variable values through that class object is called arguments

Example :

class abc
{
public void display(int a,int b,)//where a and b are parameters.
{
System.out.println("The values of passed arguments are: a="+a+"b="+b);
}
public static void main(String args[])
{
abc a=new abc();
a.display(400,500);//where 400,500 are arguments.
}
}

Whenever we are define a method with objects or references then that objects or references are called as parameters.

Whenever we are calling using that method with their objects or references values through that class object is called arguments
