Answer
Parameters are in method definitions; arguments are in calls.
Parameters are variables defined in the method signature, while arguments are the actual values passed when calling the method. For instance, in `calculateDiscount(double price)`, `price` is a parameter, but `calculateDiscount(19.99)` uses `19.99` as an argument.
