Difference between Parameter and Argument

[TechFnatic]

consider this code:

 

data = 3
data2 = 7.5
result = min(data, data2)

 

 

 

Is the data in the 3rd line a parameter or argument? Please explain the difference

Thank you, this helped

min(data , data2) are your parameters and when you call min with min(3, 7.5) the 3 and 7.5 would be your arguments. refer to the link given above which is pretty much an okay explanation.

Thanks a lot man, that really cleared things up. Was a bit confused... but that should do it!
