Question

difference between actual and formal arguments in c language​

Answer 1

Argument: An argument is an expression which is passed to a function by its caller (or macro by its invoker) in order for the function(or macro) to perform its task. It is an expression in the comma-separated list bound by the parentheses in a function call expression.

Actual arguments:

The arguments that are passed in a function call are called actual arguments. These arguments are defined in the calling function.

Formal arguments:

The formal arguments are the parameters/arguments in a function declaration. The scope of formal arguments is local to the function definition in which they are used. Formal arguments belong to the called function. Formal arguments are a copy of the actual arguments. A change in formal arguments would not be reflected in the actual arguments.
