The way I look at it, a “parameter” is any value that can be adjusted in 
an algorithm to solve a different problem in the same general class of 
problems.

An “argument” is a “parameter” that is passed to a function at the point 
of the call. So different calls can be passed different values of this 
“parameter”.
