Java and Python have been popular programming languages in recent years. However, the popularity of Python is steadily growing over Java. But which language you must choose to develop your code depends on what you will create. Java is commonly used for developing mobile device applications. However, Python is used for AI, machine learning, data analytics, data visualization, programming applications, and web development. This content will discuss the differences between the programming … [Read more...]

PHP and HTML are programming languages together used to create web applications. PHP is a server-side scripting language, whereas HTML is a client-side scripting language. So, HTML basically defines the structure of a web page which is ultimately a front of a website or a web application. On the other hand, PHP defines the backend of the website or web application. Both languages share some more differences that we will discuss with the help of a comparison chart in the content below. We will … [Read more...]

HashMap and HashSet are the classes that implement the interfaces of the Java collection framework. The class HashMap implements from the Map interface, whereas HashSet implements from the Set interface. HashMap is a data structure in Java that maps a key to a value. In HashMap, each key must be unique; however, duplicate values are allowed. HashSet is a data structure in Java that stores a set of unique values. It strictly does not allow duplicate values. In this content, we will be … [Read more...]

Flowchart and pseudocode are the ways to represent the control flow through the statements of the program, algorithm, process, etc. The significant difference between the flowchart and pseudocode is how they represent the control flow. The flowchart is a graphical representation of an algorithm. However, the pseudocode is the text-based representation of the algorithm. Well, we can use these concepts together to design software, or we can even use them independently. In this section, we … [Read more...]

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...]

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...]

The LISP and Prolog are the programming languages intended to serve for the different purpose, where LISP is a functional programming language while Prolog is a completely logic programming language. LISP was considered as the model of computation which is founded on the theory of the recursive functions. Prolog, on the other hand, contains a group of specifications in formal logic which uses first-order predicate calculus. LISP is faster than Prolog as it easily interpreted by … [Read more...]

The black box and white box testing are the type of testing methods, which can be differentiated according to the approaches used for testing. Black box testing does not contain any information about the internal structure of the software but the functional specifications of the software are used to design the test cases. Conversely, the white box testing needs entire information about the internal structure of the software to construct the test cases. Software testing is the method of … [Read more...]

Interfaces used to enable several distinct classes to share a probable group of properties and methods. The Interface is useful for abstracting a class where it specifies the operation performed by the class but does not reveal the background working or how it is going to do it. While inheritance assists the creation of specialized subclasses by base class and this is helpful in reusing the code. More generally inheritance is used to extend the class functionality. However, both are the … [Read more...]

Prim's and Kruskal's algorithms are designed for finding the minimum spanning tree of a graph. These algorithms use a different approach to solve the same problem. Prim's algorithm works by selecting the root vertex in the beginning and then spanning from vertex to vertex adjacently, while in Kruskal's algorithm the lowest cost edges which do not form any cycle are selected for generating the MST. These algorithms are designed for the undirected graph. The Minimum Spanning Tree (MST) is a … [Read more...]
