13. What is the difference between the formal parameters and actual
parameters? What are their alternative names? Also, give a suitable

Answer :-

Actual Parameter is a parameter, which is used in function call

statement to send the value from calling function to the called function.
It is also known as Argument.

Formal Parameter is a parameter, which is used in function header of

the called function to receive the value from actual parameter. It is also
known as Parameter.
