A parameter is a variable declared in the function or method (depends on the programming language) definition. An argument is an expression that is passed to the function or method in place of a parameter. When a function or method is invoked, all of the parameters of the function or method are created as variables, and the value or reference of the arguments are passed (as value or reference) into the parameters.
