Function Parameters and Arguments in C++

Parameters are variables defined in the function signature, while arguments are the actual values passed to the function when it is called.

Example: Function with Parameters

#include <iostream>

void displayAge(int age) {
    std::cout << "Your age is: " << age << std::endl;
}

int main() {
    displayAge(25);
    return 0;
}

Explanation: The displayAge function takes an integer parameter age and prints it. 25 is passed as an argument when calling the function.

Key Takeaways

  • Parameters are placeholders for values passed to the function.
  • Arguments are the actual values provided during a function call.
  • Parameters enhance function flexibility by allowing input values.
