They are synonyms.

Some people use the word 'argument' for the 'formal parameter' and 'parameter' for the 'actual parameter', others do on the other way around.

PS:

example for the formal parameters (function declaration):

int myfun (const char *s, int p);

example for the actual parameters (function calling):

myfun ("Hello", 44);

What is the data type of the parameter of the second version of the method?

Given that you haven't specified the method in question it is impossible to say what the parameter's data type would be. However, in statically typed languages such as Java, the method's signature will tell you specifically which data type is to be expected: void f (int x) { // expects an argument of type int // ... } void f (float x) { // expects an argument of type float // ... }
