parameter vs argument python

Question

So I'm still pretty new to Python and I am still confused about using a parameter vs an argument. For example, how would I write a function that accepts a string as an argument?

Answer 1

These terms in general used in place of each other but the main difference between parameter and argument is that the parameter is what is something that is declared in the function, while an argument is something that is sent or passed through when there is a function call.

def Multiply (x, y):

return x*y

 

Multiply (9,5)

•   Parameters are x and y
•  Arguments are (9,5) passed when call is to make to the function.
