当口头谈论方法时,我从不确定是否应该使用参数或参数或其他词。不管怎样,其他人都知道我的意思,但什么是正确的,这些术语的历史是什么?

我是一名c#程序员,但我也想知道人们是否在不同的语言中使用不同的术语。

声明一下,我是自学的,没有计算机科学的背景。(请不要让我去读《代码完成》,因为我这么做是为了让那些还没有史蒂夫·麦康奈尔这本了不起的书的人受益。)

总结

普遍的共识似乎是,在团队环境中可以互换使用这些术语。除非你在定义精确的术语;然后你也可以使用“正式参数/参数”和“实际参数/参数”来消除歧义。

参数是函数定义中的变量 参数是参数的值

<?php

    /* define function */
    function myFunction($parameter1, $parameter2)
    {
        echo "This is value of paramater 1: {$parameter1} <br />";
        echo "This is value of paramater 2: {$parameter2} <br />";
    }

    /* call function with arguments*/
    myFunction(1, 2);

?>

其他回答

Parameter是函数声明中的变量。

参数是传递给函数的这个变量的实际值。

根据Joseph的Alabahari的书“c# in a Nutshell”(c# 7.0, p. 49):

static void Foo (int x)
{
    x = x + 1; // When you're talking in context of this method x is parameter
    Console.WriteLine (x);
}
static void Main()
{
    Foo (8); // an argument of 8. 
             // When you're talking from the outer scope point of view
}

在一些人类语言(如意大利语、俄语)中,这些术语的同义词被广泛使用。

参数=形式参数 参数=实际参数

在我的大学里,教授们两种名字都用。

参数和参数

All the different terms that have to do with parameters and arguments can be confusing. However, if you keep a few simple points in mind, you will be able to easily handle these terms. The formal parameters for a function are listed in the function declaration and are used in the body of the function definition. A formal parameter (of any sort) is a kind of blank or placeholder that is filled in with something when the function is called. An argument is something that is used to fill in a formal parameter. When you write down a function call, the arguments are listed in parentheses after the function name. When the function call is executed, the arguments are plugged in for the formal parameters. The terms call-by-value and call-by-reference refer to the mechanism that is used in the plugging-in process. In the call-by-value method only the value of the argument is used. In this call-by-value mechanism, the formal parameter is a local variable that is initialized to the value of the corresponding argument. In the call-by-reference mechanism the argument is a variable and the entire variable is used. In the call- by-reference mechanism the argument variable is substituted for the formal parameter so that any change that is made to the formal parameter is actually made to the argument variable.

也就是说,

参数是在调用函数时必须填写的东西。你放进去的是论证。

简单设置:实参进入形参,实参就是形参的值。

或者,在方法有可选参数的情况下,这样记会更简单:

public void Method(string parameter = "argument") 
{

}

Parameter是参数,它的值,"argument"是实参:)
