What is the difference between the "BuildContext" and "BuildContext context" in Flutter?

Flutter - Interview Questions

In Flutter, `BuildContext` and `BuildContext context` are essentially the same thing. The `BuildContext` class represents the current context of a widget, which is a fundamental part of the Flutter framework that provides information about the location of a widget in the widget tree hierarchy. The `BuildContext` object is passed down from the root of the widget tree to all of its child widgets, allowing them to access information about their parent widget and the overall application context.

The only difference between `BuildContext` and `BuildContext context` is in their naming convention. When defining a method or function that needs access to the `BuildContext` object, you can name the argument holding the `BuildContext` object whatever you like. It is common practice to use `BuildContext context` to indicate that the argument is holding a reference to a `BuildContext` object.

For example, when defining a widget that needs to access the `BuildContext` object, you can use the following code :

class MyWidget extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Container(
      child: Text("Hello World"),
    );
  }
}

In the `build` method, the `context` argument holds the reference to the current `BuildContext` object. The argument could have been named anything, but `BuildContext context` is a commonly used convention in Flutter development.
