An argument is an entity used to pass the data from calling function to the called function. Formal arguments are the arguments available in the function definition.They are preceded by their own data types.Actual arguments are available in the function call.
arguments are called as parameters .they are passed from main function to sub function.
formal arguments are located in sub function. actual arguments are located in function the values of actual arguments are copied to formal arguments.
The arguments listed in function definition are known as formal arguments. And the arguments passed to function while invoking it, are known as actual arguments.
For e.g: ----------- int foo(int a, int b) { return (a+b); }
int main(void) { int var1 = 10, var2 = 10; int result; result = foo(var1, var2); return 0; }
in the above case, var1 & var2 are actual arguments and "a" and "b" are formal arguments.
Actual parameters are available in main function. Formal parameters are those which we formally define in a sub function which is to be called. The number of actual and formal parameters in a particular program must be the same.
formal arguments are the argument available in the function definition actual areguments are available in function call formal areguments are located in sub fuction actual arement aren located in function
formal arguments are the argument available in the function definition actual areguments are available in function call formal areguments are located in sub fuction actual arement aren located in function
formal arguments are the argument available in the function definition. actual arguments are available in function call. formal arguments are located in sub function. actual arguments are located in function.
formal arguments are the argument available in the function definition. actual arguments are available in function call. formal arguments are located in sub function. actual arguments are located in function.
Whenever a function gets called by a set of arguments they are known as actual arguments. The arguments that represents the name of data items that are transferred into the function from calling function are known as formal arguments.
