Arguments are passed to functions via the thread's function call stack. Every thread has its own call stack, which is a small region of contiguous, fixed-size memory that extends downwards into lower addresses. The stack is allocated when the thread is instantiated and deallocated when the thread terminates thus there is minimal cost in using the stack. Data is pushed and popped from the stack while a stack pointer keeps track of the top of the stack (the lowest unused address).
Arguments appear in functions and in function calls. Arguments passed to a function are known as actual arguments. The arguments used by the function are known as the formal arguments. In C, all arguments are passed by value, such that the formal argument is a copy of the actual argument.
The function already exists in PHP and is even called max(); Otherwise use: function max ($one, $two) { return $one > $two ? $one : $two; }
It is not the function but the compiler or interpreter which interprets the code. When the program is compiled and run the compiler checks the entire code line by line to check which function is called. If you encounter polymorphism in other Object Oriented Languages it would be more clear how a function with same name and different arguments are called.
Of course.
In C++, parameters are variables declared in the function's declaration and definition that receive values passed in from the function call. They are used to pass values or data into a function to be used within the function's code. Parameters allow functions to be more flexible and reusable by accepting different inputs without needing to modify the function's code.
Formal arguments are the named arguments defined by the function. Actual arguments are those arguments that were passed to the function by the caller.
With a call to the function func_num_args().

parenthesis - () are used along with the function name to invoke a function.Eg:Consider a function named trial. Then the invoking statement would be:trial();If the function has arguments, then these arguments are passed inside the parameters.
When a function is passed by value the calling function makes a copy of the passed argument and works on that copy. And that's the reason that any changes made in the argument value does gets reflected to the caller.
You pass arguments to functions because that is how you tell the function what you want it to do. If you had, for instance, a function that calculated the square root of something, you would pass that something as an argument, such as a = sqrt (b). In this case sqrt is the function name, b is passed as its argument, and the return value is assigned to a.
The function already exists in PHP and is even called max(); Otherwise use: function max ($one, $two) { return $one > $two ? $one : $two; }
The AVERAGE function has up to 255 arguments in Excel.
There is an arguments object in JavaScript. This object is treated much like an array (but it's not actually an array.)You can however reference the arguments passed to a function via this array. For instance, if we call a function like so:exampleFunc('Tom', 15, 'potato');Then we can access the value of Tom at the local variable arguments[0].

use the variable length argument - va_arg va_list ca_start and va_end macros
The minimum function is the function that takes two arguments and returns the smallest of the two. Alternatively the function can take any finite amount of arguments and return the smallest.
