Why Arguments

WHY Arguments

The use of the term “argument” in this sense developed from astronomy, which historically used tables to determine the spatial positions of planets from their positions in the sky. These tables were organized according to measured angles called arguments, literally “that which elucidates something else.”

also what is the difference between Argument and parameter.

Argument is the actual value of this variable that gets passed to function. A parameter is something you have to fill in when you call a function.
