What’s the difference between an argument and a parameter?

by

A parameter is a variable in a method definition. When a method is called, the arguments are the data you pass into the method’s parameters.

public void MyMethod(string myParam) { }

...

string myArg1 = "this is my argument";
myClass.MyMethod(myArg1);
