The Issue: You have a function that accepts a variety of parameters. It is impractical to provide them as traditional parameters. So, what are you going to do?
Explain the purpose of a function parameter. What’s the difference between a parameterand an argument?
What is the difference between a formal parameter and an argument?
Group of answer choices
A function’s argument is referred to as the formal argument to distinguish it from the value that is passed in during the function call.
The parameter is the passed value.
A function’s parameter is referred to as the formal parameter to distinguish it from the value that is passed in during the function call.
The argument is the passed value.
A function’s parameter is used for passing by reference.
The argument is used for passing by value.
A function’s parameter is used for passing by value.
The argument is used for passing by reference.
They are identical but using different terms.

What is the difference between a function argument and a function parameter? Group of answer choices An argument is a variable that is created in a function to hold a value that has been sent to it and a parameter value is the value that a function returns to the calling routine. An argument is a value that is passed into a function and a parameter is variable that the function defines to hold value of the argument. An argument is a value that is passed into a function and a parameter is the value that a function returns to the calling routine. A parameter is a value that is passed into a function and an argument is the value that a function returns to the calling routine.arrow_forward
- Mark the following statements as true or false: To use a predefined function in a program, you need to know only the name of the function and how to use it. a. b. A value-returning function returns only one value. Parameters allow you to use different values each time the function is called. C. When a return statement executes in a user-defined function, the function immediately exits. A value-returning function returns only integer values. A function that changes the value of a reference parameter also changes the value of the actual parameter. d. e. f. A variable name cannot be passed to a value parameter. g. J€ a C++ function does not use parameters, parentheses around the h. empty parameter list are still required. In C++, the names of the corresponding formal and actual parameters i. must be the same.arrow_forwardHow we can pass the function pointer as a parameter give example.arrow_forwardFor the following function headers, determinethe number, and datatype of each parameterthat must be passed to the function. What is the return type on the function listed below? int factorial (int n) Number of parameters: Parameter types: double volts (int res, double induct, double cap) Number of parameters: Parameter types:arrow_forward
- To make a function return more than one result we pass parameters: By value. As int. By void. By reference.arrow_forwardProgramming Language: C++ 2. Which of the following are true for default arguments? Select one or more: a. They should be placed in both the prototype and function header. b. They should be placed in the function header only if there is no prototype c. Any of the function parameters may or may not have default arguments. d. The parameters with default arguments must come last (to the right) of the ones that don't have default arguments. e. Default arguments can be either variables or constantsarrow_forwardThe terms parameter and argument can be used for the same thing: listed inside the parentheses in the function definition. An argument is the called Number of Arguments By default, a function must be called with the correct the function with 2 arguments, not more, and not that are passed into a function. A parameter is the that is sent to the function when it is Meaning the function expects 2 arguments, once the function calledarrow_forward
