Re:Parameter or Argument? by tempodox on Thursday July 14, 2016 @10:40AM (#12094194)
I think so. Mathematicians talk about “arguments”, but I've never seen “parameter” used. There are more differences in that specific area: Mathematicians apply functions to their arguments. Only a programmer would attempt to “call” a function. That's actually a remnant from “calling a subroutine”, what we did in assembler, even before functions were a thing in programming.
