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 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?arrow_forwardLocal declarations are those that are kept in the memory of the computer; but, how exactly are they kept in memory? If reaching one's objective can be done without making use of local declarations, then doing so is a waste of time. Why bother using value parameters when you can just use references as your arguments in any function? How crucial are value parameters when it comes to the processing of programmed data?arrow_forwardIn a function call, you can't have keyword and non-keyword parameters.arrow_forward

Group of answer choices One good method for specifying what a function is supposed to do is to provide a precondition and postcondition for the function. One good method for specifying what a function is supposed to do is to provide a precondition and postcondition for the function. These form a contract between the programmer who uses the function and the programmer who writes the function. Using the assert function to check preconditions can significantly reduce debugging time, and the assertion-checking can later be turned off if program speed is a consideration.

- Programming Language: C++ 3. Which of the following are true for static variables but not for other variables? Select one or more: a. If they are defined and initialized on the same line, this line is guaranteed to only be executed once. b. They can only be used in the scope where they are defined. c. They can be used as arguments when calling a function d. They retain the value stored in them even after the function where they are defined returns e. They can be defined and initialized on the same line.arrow_forward. 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_forwardTRUE OR FALSE Variables declared inside the function are local to that function.arrow_forward
