What is the difference between parameters and arguments? They are called parameters when they are defined as values that can be passed to a method. They are called arguments when a method is called and you pass values to it.
Example of Method definition:
public static int BlahBlahBlah(string thingToSay, int numberOfTimes)
{
// statements go here...
return value
}
Example of calling this same method:
int size = BlahBlahBlah("Hello World!", 3);
This method is passing two arguments: 1) The first argument is "Hello World!" of type string; 2) The second argument is a number 3 of type int.
MessageBox.Show("This is an argument");
When you call a method the arguments must be the same type as the types of the parameters. The number of arguments depends on the number of parameters. So a method could have any number of parameters or no parameters at all.
