Summary

Fixes #8375

This PR corrects a terminology error in the React tutorial where 'argument' was incorrectly used instead of 'parameter'.

Changes

  • Changed 'Add an argument' to 'Add a parameter' in the tutorial-tic-tac-toe.md file

Why This Matters

In JavaScript (and programming in general):

  • Parameter is the variable declared in the function definition (e.g., in )
  • Argument is the actual value passed when calling the function

Using the correct terminology helps learners understand this important distinction and prevents confusion.

Testing


Fixes #8375

Fixes reactjs#8375

The tutorial incorrectly used 'argument' when referring to the function
parameter  in the handleClick function declaration. In JavaScript:
- Parameter is the variable in the function declaration
- Argument is the actual value passed when calling the function

This change improves accuracy and helps learners understand the
distinction between these two important programming concepts.
