Clearly you have missed the point. No one asked that you introduce
"formal parameters". The point is that it is not clear what is
meant here by "function arguments". Pick an expression that
actually says what is in fact meant, and fix the bug. If the answer
is that you mean the arguments passed to the function, then say so.
