Servlet and JSP (Java Server Page) are the programs that run on java-enabled web servers or application servers. Though both of them extend the functionalities of the web server or application server but, they do differ in many ways. Servlets are simple java programs that developers design to handle the request from the web browser and generate a dynamic response for the same. On the other hand, JSP is a successor of the servlet, as it is also used to generate a dynamic response for the request … [Read more...]
WiFi Vs Ethernet
WiFi and Ethernet are networking technologies that allow multiple devices to connect to the network and access the Internet simultaneously. Though both technologies connect you to a network or the Internet, they differ in many ways. WiFi is wireless technology, whereas Ethernet is wired technology. WiFi offers mobility to its user as there is a wireless transmission. On the other hand, Ethernet offers fast and secure access to the Internet. We will discuss these techniques in detail and their … [Read more...]
Difference Between Assembler and Interpreter
Assembler and Interpreter, both are system programs that perform language translation. They accept a computer program in one language and convert it to another language. Although they are quite different in their working process. Assembler is a system program that accepts assembly language code and converts it to machine language code. On the other hand, the interpreter accepts the source code in a high-level language and translates it into machine language code. In the case of an assembler, … [Read more...]
Difference Between Actual and Formal Parameters
Actual and formal parameters are two different forms of parameters that we use while declaring, defining and invoking a function. The actual parameter is the one that we pass to a function when we invoke it. On the other hand, a formal parameter is one that we pass to a function when we declare and define it. Actual parameters are the genuine values that a function has to work on. However, the formal parameters are just variables defined to accept the real values on which the function will … [Read more...]
Difference Between Cache Memory and Register
Cache memory and register both are the memory units of the computer. But they are not the same in terms of speed, size, access time, etc. Cache memory is an individual memory unit that stores the data that has been used recently by the processor. On the other hand, the register is a high-speed storage element that holds the data that the CPU is currently processing. Whenever the processor fetches any instruction or the associated data from the main memory into the processor chip (registers), … [Read more...]
Difference Between Internet and Ethernet
Internet and Ethernet both are the communication standards that enable connectivity between the communicating devices. Internet is a network of networks that gradually forms a wide area network (WAN). Meanwhile, Ethernet is a hardwired connection between the computers that gradually forms a local area network (LAN). The Internet is a global network connecting users across the world. However, Ethernet is used to connect your device to the local area network. Although you can even use Ethernet … [Read more...]
Difference Between Server and Database
The basic difference between a server and a database is that server is a computer program that runs to provide services to other computer programs or devices. On the other hand, the database is an application that stores data in an organized form and can be retrieved by the user with the help of a query. In the section ahead, we will be discussing the differences between server and database. Content: Server Vs Database Comparison Chart What is Server? What is Server Used for? … [Read more...]
Difference Between DSL and ADSL
DSL and ADSL are the technologies adopted by telecom companies to facilitate faster data transmission. DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) is a set of technologies, among which ADSL is one. Although ADSL is a subset of DSL technologies we will try to identify some of the differences between these two. We will also be discussing about both techniques in detail. Content: DSL Vs ADSL Comparison Chart What is DSL? DSL Modem WhatisADSL? ADSL Broadband Echo Cancellation … [Read more...]
Difference Between Cache and Main Memory
Cache and main memory both are inboard computer memory. The cache holds the frequently used data. On the other hand, the main memory (RAM) holds the data that is currently in execution. The cache is much faster and more expensive than the main memory. However, both of these computer memories are directly accessible by the processor. Now before going ahead let us discuss what is computer memory. What is a Computer Memory? Memory is a hardware device used to store programs or data. Memory … [Read more...]
Difference Between Modulation and Demodulation
Modulation and demodulation are the techniques important for establishing communication between the devices. Modulation superimposes a weak signal (information) onto a strong carrier signal to get a modulated signal. The modulated signal is further transmitted over a longer distance. Demodulation processes the modulated signal to retrieve the original information. Modulation and demodulation are complementary processes to each other. Thus, modulation is being conducted at the senders’ side … [Read more...]
