actual parameter
[/ˈæk.tʃu.əl ˈpær.ə.mə.tər/]
nounpl: actual parameters
parâmetro real
1. In programming, the concrete value or variable passed to a function or method when it is called, as opposed to the formal parameter defined in the function signature
In the function call multiply(5, 3), the actual parameters are 5 and 3.
Na chamada de função multiplicar(5, 3), os parâmetros reais são 5 e 3.
2. The argument provided at runtime that corresponds to a placeholder parameter in a function definition
The actual parameter replaces the formal parameter during function execution.
O parâmetro real substitui o parâmetro formal durante a execução da função.
This is a technical term primarily used in computer science and programming education. Both Brazil and Portugal use 'parâmetro real' in their academic and professional computing contexts. The distinction between actual and formal parameters is fundamental in teaching programming logic and is emphasized in university computer science curricula across both Portuguese-speaking regions.
