Seeking an explanation how function argument works

[admin]

[dm_code_snippet background=”yes” background-mobile=”no” slim=”yes” line-numbers=”yes” bg-color=”#abb8c3″ theme=”dark” language=”clike” wrapped=”yes” height=”” copy-text=”Copy Code” copy-confirmed=”Copied”]

int compute_score(string word);
string find_winner(int score1, int score2);

[/dm_code_snippet]

 

With compute_score, there will be two words used, word1 and word2. Instead of

[dm_code_snippet background=”no” background-mobile=”yes” slim=”yes” line-numbers=”yes” bg-color=”#abb8c3″ theme=”dark” language=”clike” wrapped=”yes” height=”” copy-text=”Copy Code” copy-confirmed=”Copied”]

int compute_score(string word1,string word2);

[/dm_code_snippet]

It is

[dm_code_snippet background=”yes” background-mobile=”no” slim=”yes” line-numbers=”yes” bg-color=”#abb8c3″ theme=”dark” language=”clike” wrapped=”yes” height=”” copy-text=”Copy Code” copy-confirmed=”Copied”]

int compute_score(string word);

[/dm_code_snippet]

This is unlike score1, score2 with find_winner. Is it due to get_string function to be used for getting input?

What is confusing is that while word argument with compute_score will subsequently change to word1 and word2, the arguments with find_winner (score1, and score2) are mentioned exactly the way they will be later used.
