LectureNotes is correct. In the C programming language, the arguments received by a function are indeed called function arguments.

Function arguments are the values or variables that are passed to a function when it is called. They provide the necessary data for the function to perform its task. Function arguments can be of different types, such as integers, characters, arrays, or even pointers.

When a function is called, the values of the arguments are passed to the function’s parameters. Parameters are the variables within the function that receive the values of the arguments. The function can then use these parameter values to perform calculations or operations.

For example, let’s consider a simple function that calculates the sum of two numbers:

#include <stdio.h>

int sum(int a, int b) {
    return a + b;
}

int main() {
    int x = 5;
    int y = 3;
    int result = sum(x, y);
    
    printf("The sum of %d and %d is %d\n", x, y, result);
    
    return 0;
}

In this example, the sum function receives two arguments: a and b. These arguments are passed from the main function when sum is called. The function then calculates and returns the sum of a and b, which is assigned to the result variable in the main function.

So, to summarize, arguments received by a function in the C language are called function arguments.
