Parameters vs Arguments in Function Definitions

A quick clarification I see people mix up often Parameters vs Arguments When defining a function, we use parameters — these are placeholders for the values the function will receive. When calling a function, we pass arguments — these are the actual values. Example : def add(a, b): # parameters return a + b add(3, 5) # arguments Parameters = placeholders in the function definition Arguments = real values passed during the function call Simple concept, but getting it right makes communication and code clarity much better. #Programming #Coding #SoftwareDevelopment #CleanCode
