Awesome guys! Thank you for helping me understand this material.
Parameters and Arguments are tricky. Looks like its mainly a game of
connect the dots with variables. lol.
If you stick with the convention that parameters are names in the header
of a function definition, arguments are objects in a function call, and
calls bind parameter names to argements (or sometimes collected
arguments), then it is not so tricky. But also remember that not
everyone follows this convention, or even any consistent usage.
To reiterate about calling and binding.
def f(x): pass
f(2)
binds the name 'x' to the int object with value 2. This is essentially
the same as 'x = 2', except that the binding takes place in the local
namespace of the function rather than in the local namespace of the call.
