Write down the difference between Formal and Actual Arguments.

Formal Arguments:

• The arguments present in the function definition are called formal arguments. These are also called dummy arguments.

Example:

• name(x,y)
• int x,y;
• {
• int z;
• z=x+y;
• return(z);
• }

In this exmple x and y are called formal or dummy argumets.

Actual Arguments:

·      The arguments present in the function calling is called actual arguments. These are called actual arguments because it has values to sent to the already defined function(called function) formal arguments.
