Difference Between Boxing and Unboxing in C#

In C#, all the value types are derived from the class object. So, a reference variable of type object can refer to any other value type. C# introduces two methods to Boxing and Unboxing, which links value type to reference type. The basic difference between Boxing and Unboxing is that Boxing is the conversion of the value type to an object type whereas, on other hands, the term Unboxing refers to the conversion of the object type to the value type. Let us study the other differences between … [Read more...]

Difference Between ref and out in C#

"Ref" and "Out" are the parameter modifiers used in C#. Using ref and out, you can pass any value type by its reference to any method. The reason of passing any value type by its reference introduces the main difference between the ref and out keyword. The ref keyword allows the called method to alter the content of the argument passed to it with ref keyword. The out keyword allows called method to return more than one value at a single call. Let's study the difference between ref and out … [Read more...]

Difference Between Flow Control and Error Control

Flow control and Error control are the control mechanism at data link layer and transport layer. Whenever the sends the data to the receiver these two mechanisms helps in proper delivering of the reliable data to the receiver. The main difference between the flow control and error control is that the flow control observes the proper flow of the data from sender to receiver, on the other hand, the error control observes that the data delivered to the receiver is error free and reliable. Let's … [Read more...]

Difference Between Pure ALOHA and Slotted ALOHA

Pure ALOHA and Slotted ALOHA both are the Random Access Protocols, that are implemented on the Medium Access Control (MAC) layer, a sublayer of Data Link Layer. The purpose of the ALOHA protocol is to determine that which competing station must get the next chance of accessing the multi-access channel at MAC layer. The main difference between Pure ALOHA and Slotted ALOHA is that the time in Pure Aloha is continuous whereas, the time in Slotted ALOHA is discrete. Let us discuss the other … [Read more...]

Difference Between Bandwidth and Frequency

Bandwidth and frequency both are the measuring terms of networking. The basic difference between bandwidth and frequency is that bandwidth measures the amount of data transferred per second whereas the frequency measure the number of oscillation of the data signal per second. Let us study the comparison chart of the bandwidth and frequency. Content: Bandwidth Vs Frequency Comparison Chart Definition Key Differences Conclusion Comparison Chart Definition of … [Read more...]

Difference Between ARP and RARP

ARP and RARP both are the Network layer protocol. Whenever a host needs to send an IP datagram to another host, the sender requires both the logical address and physical address of the receiver. The dynamic mapping provides two protocols ARP and RARP. The basic difference between ARP and RARP is that ARP when provided with the logical address of the receiver it obtains the physical address of the receiver whereas in RARP when provided with the physical address of the host, it obtains the … [Read more...]

Difference Between FTP and TFTP

FTP and TFTP both are the application layer protocols. Both are used to transfer a file from client to server or from the server to the client . But FTP is more complex than TFTP. There are many differences between FTP and TFTP, but the major difference between FTP and TFTP is that FTP establishes two connection for transferring a file between client and server that are TCP's port 20 for data connection and TCP's port 21 for the control connection. On the other hand, TFTP uses the only single … [Read more...]

Difference Between Static and Final in Java

Static and final both are the keywords used in Java. The static member can be accessed before the class object is created. Final has a different effect when applied to class, methods and variables. The main difference between a static and final keyword is that static is keyword is used to define the class member that can be used independently of any object of that class. Final keyword is used to declare, a constant variable, a method which can not be overridden and a class that can not be … [Read more...]

Difference Between Interface and Abstract Class in Java & C#

Interface and Abstract class both contribute to "incomplete type" in OOP. Sometimes we need a superclass to define "what to do" but, not "how to do", it's how to do part will be implemented by the derived class according to its need, "interface" provide a solution to this. Sometimes we need a superclass class that defines some generalised structure that can be implemented by derived classes and some specified structure that can be utilised by the derived classes, "abstract class" provides a … [Read more...]

Difference Between throw and throws in Java

The throw and throws are the keywords used in exception handling. The throw keyword is used to handover the instance of the exception created by the programmer to the JVM manually. The throws keyword used to handover the responsibility of handling the exception occurred in the method to the caller method. The basic difference between the throw and throws is that the throw keyword uses the exception object whereas the throws keyword uses the name of the exception classes. Content: throw Vs … [Read more...]
