[New-bugs-announce] [issue40846] Misleading line in documentation

[J Arun Mani]

New submission from J Arun Mani <j.arunmani at protonmail.com>:

Hi.

 In docs : https://docs.python.org/3/faq/programming.html#faq-argument-vs-parameter it says "Parameters define what types of arguments a function can accept."
 This is not true. Python's functions do not impose any type checking or raise error when the argument's type is not matching it's type hint. Please change the line to a better one. Maybe "Parameters define the names that will hold the supplied arguments."

Thanks ^^
