args vs variables

[vajrang-b]

what are arguments
what are variables

[usurabhi]

Variables: Variables are the containers that holds the multiple data values.
Arguments : Arguments are similar to data variables, they store the data dynamically
the difference between variable and Argument is Variables cannot pass the data between the flows but the Arguments pass the data between workflows and the Arguments have additional properties like In, Out, IN/Out and property

[vbrroy]

Variables - used to hold and pass data between activities
Arguments - to send/receive data between workflows

[vbrroy]

Variable - scope can be within desired activity
Argument - scope will be in entire workflow (where it is being used/called) - it can be used in any activity of the workflow

[TiwariRakesh]

Arguments and variables are same but the only difference is variable store the data within the same workflow and arguments carries the data to the other workflow.

Variables can be used within that workflow that is within that xaml. Usually variable will be named with its type in front like for integer int_variablename and for string str_variablename
Arguments can used within the same xaml and passed to the other xaml i.e., other workflow as well.
–while the argument will be mentioned with the direction it is passed and used within the workflow like we have three directions like IN, OUT and IN/OUT
For IN argument naming will be like in_argumentname
For OUT argument naming will be like out_argumentname
say we got a variable str_input passed as a input to one workflow as a IN argument
so that variable is named as str_input and that argument getting that variable as value is named as in_StrInput

[Manjushree15]

Variables are the containers which holds the data of specific type(ex: int, str etc) and variables pass data into other activities within the current workflow.
Arguments are used to pass data from one workflow to another. Arguments are similar to variables as they also holds data, but arguments can pass data to another workflow where as variables can pass data within the workflow

[mayajain2018]

Variables:

1. Passes data within activities of a single xaml.
2. Scope can be defined.
3. Takes less space

Arguments:

1. Passes data within a single xaml or between two xaml.
2. Global scope.
3. Takes more space.

arguments : is used to store data like variables and pass data from one workflow to another
variable : is used to store the data /pass data from one activity to another with in the scope

[sudharobot]

Variables are used to store data and they can pass the data from one activity to another activity within the same workflow.
Arguments are used to store data and they can pass the data from one workflow to another workflow.
we have to specify the directions of arguments based on the requirement. we have three types of directions
IN - To get the input from another workflow
Out - To pass the output to another workflow
IN/OUT - this direction is used when we need to get input from as well as to pass the data from one workflow to another workflow
