parameter vs argument

 In programming, the terms "parameter" and "argument" are related to functions or methods.


A parameter is a variable that is defined in the function signature, and it represents a value that must be passed to the function when it is called. The parameter is used by the function to perform its calculations or actions. For example, in the following function, "x" and "y" are parameters:


```

function add(x, y) {

   return x + y;

}

```


An argument, on the other hand, is the actual value that is passed to the function when it is called. It is the value that corresponds to the parameter in the function definition. For example, if we call the "add" function with the arguments 2 and 3, like this:


```

add(2, 3);

```


Then "2" and "3" are the arguments, and they correspond to the "x" and "y" parameters in the "add" function.


In summary, a parameter is a variable defined in the function signature, while an argument is the actual value passed to the function when it is called.

C LANGUAGE - OVERVIEW C - VARIABLES

C LANGUAGE - OVERVIEW Advertisements C is a general-purpose, high-level language that was originally developed by Dennis M. Ritchie to develop the UNIX operating system at Bell Labs. C was originally first implemented on the DEC PDP-11 computer in 1972. In 1978, Brian Kernighan and Dennis Ritchie produced the first publicly available description of C, now known as the K&R standard. The UNIX operating system, the C compiler, and essentially all UNIX application programs have been written in C. C has now become a widely used professional language for various reasons − Easy to learn Structured language It produces efficient programs It can handle low-level activities It can be compiled on a variety of computer platforms Facts about C C was invented to write an operating system called UNIX. C is a successor of B language which was introduced around the early 1970s. The language was formalized in 1988 by the American National Standard Institute  A N S I A N S ...

environment

It looks like you meant "environment." The environment refers to the surroundings or conditions in which a person, animal, or plant lives or operates. It encompasses various elements, including natural resources, ecosystems, climate, and human-made structures. Protecting and preserving the environment is crucial for the well-being of all living organisms on Earth. Is there anything specific you'd like to discuss or learn about regarding the environment?
