I got parameter and argument kind of mixed up and did not really pay attention to when to use one and when to use the other.

Can you please tell me?

A parameter is the variable which is part of the method’s signature (method declaration). An argument is an expression used when calling the method.

Consider the following code:

void Foo(int i, float f) { // Do things } void Bar() { int anInt = 1; Foo(anInt, 2.0); }

Here i and f are the parameters, and anInt and 2.0 are the arguments.
