Procedure to input number and output varchar2 - oracle

Question

I need to write a procedure to input let's say a rep_id and then output the rep_name that corresponds to the rep_id.
After that, I need to use another procedure to call the above procedure.
Here is what I have for the first procedure.
create or replace procedure p_inout
(v_rep_id in number)
As
v_first_name varchar2(20);
v_last_name varchar2(20);
begin
select first_name,last_name into v_first_name, v_last_name
from rep
where rep_id = v_rep_id;
dbms_output.put_line(v_first_name||' '||v_last_name);
end p_inout;
/
Execute p_inout(100);
And here is my procedure to call the above procedure
create or replace procedure p_call
is
v_first_name varchar2(20);
v_last_name varchar2(20);
begin
p_inout(100);
dbms_output.put_line(v_first_name||' '||v_last_name);
end p_call;
/
execute p_call
I was able to get the result but one guy told me that my call procedure should be like this
Create or replace procedure p_call
Is
V_name varchar2(20);
Begin
P_inout(100,v_name); --100 is a rep id
Dbms_output.Put_line(v_name);
End;
/
Execute p_call
Doesn't my procedure to call and his call procedure produce the same result?

CREATE TABLE minions (
rep_id DATE CONSTRAINT minions__rep_id__pk PRIMARY KEY,
rep_name NUMBER CONSTRAINT minions__rep_name__nn NOT NULL
CONSTRAINT minions__rep_name__u UNIQUE
)

CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE myCatWasSick (
p_rep_id IN minions.rep_id%TYPE,
p_rep_name OUT minions.rep_name%TYPE
)
IS
BEGIN
SELECT rep_name
INTO p_rep_name
FROM minions
WHERE rep_id = p_rep_id;
EXCEPTION
WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND THEN
p_rep_name := NULL;
END myCatWasSick;

CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE releaseTheBadgers
IS
the_badger NUMBER(10);
BEGIN
myCatWasSick( SYSDATE + 1, the_badger );
// Do something with the_badger.
END releaseTheBadgers;
