Parameters and arguments.
-
These are arguments: static void Main(string[] args) {}. Inside a class a function is a method and not a function. But I see often that those arguments are called parameters. Why? We call a method with parameters and not with arguments. Inside the method parameters become arguments, Isn't that true?

I had to look it up for C++ to discover that it uses the same terminology. I've often used them interchangeably and wasn't sure if there was actually a distinction. So thanks for teaching me something today.

The variables defined in the method (A.K.A. function) signature, are known as parameters of the method, the data passed to those variables when call upon are the arguments... Difference Between Argument and Parameter | Compare the Difference Between Similar Terms[^] In the static Main method we define a String array named args because when an app is generated, and after, executed with arguments, there it will be where those program arguments will be set into! :java:
