Working with Functions — Question 4

Arguments — The values being passed through a function-call statement are called arguments.

Parameters — The values received in the function definition/header are called parameters.

Arguments appear in function call statement whereas parameters appear in function header. The two terms are related because the values passed through arguments while calling a function are received by parameters in the function definition.

For example :

def multiply(a, b):
    print(a * b)
multiply(3, 4)

Here, a and b are parameters while 3, 4 are arguments.
