Arguments appear in functions and in function calls. Arguments passed to a function are known as actual arguments. The arguments used by the function are known as the formal arguments. In C, all arguments are passed by value, such that the formal argument is a copy of the actual argument.

An argument is the input for a function parameter. Given a function "int addTwoNumbers(int x, int y)", x and y are the parameters for the function. When the function is called, such as in "addTwoNumbers(4, 6)", 4 and 6 are the arguments for the function.
