Expert Solution & Answer
Chapter 5.1, Problem 9STQ
Explanation of Solution
Difference between the term parameter and formal parameter:
The term parameter and formal parameter defines same concept in this book.
- User can use the parameter or formal parameter to define the definition of the data type and variable inside a method header.
Example:
The example for parameter or formal parameter is given below:
//Define "Example_Program" class
public class Example_Program
{
//Define main function
public static void main(String[] args)
{
//Initializes the values for two variables
int num1 = 10, num2 = 10;
/* Display the result of sum by calling the method "sum_value" with arguments of "num1" and "num2" */
System.out...
