Programming Tip: Parameters vs Arguments

In this post I would like to share what my teacher once taught me about why Parameters are not same as Arguments. Consider a simple example of a paper-form where you have to write things to submit a certain request. Each form-field is a parameter and what you write in that field is an argument.

So Parameter a placeholder to hold some value in order to process the method call and Argument is the value that is passed by the caller of your method.
