XML and HTML are the markup languages defined for the distinct purposes and have several differences. The prior difference is that in XML there are provisions for defining new elements while HTML doesn't provide a specification to define new element and it uses predefined tags. XML can be used to build markup languages while HTML itself is a markup language. HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) was designed to facilitate the transfer of web-based documents. Conversely, XML was developed for … [Read more...]

Syntax and Semantics are very significant terms relating to any programming language. The syntax in a programming language involves the set of permitted phrases of a language whereas semantics expresses the associated meaning of those phrases. There are some relationships between syntax and semantics where each semantic element is linked to at least one syntactic rendition and the other one assures that each syntactic representation has a distinctive meaning. Content: Syntax Vs Semantics … [Read more...]

Cellpadding and Cellspacing are the attributes used in table formatting, it actually sets the whitespaces in your table cells. These are the significant properties of a web document. The main difference between cellpadding and cellspacing is that the cellpadding is used to fix the width between the cell edge and its content. Conversely, the cellspacing sets the space between the single cells. The width of these attributes can be measured by using pixels or percentage. For adjusting the space … [Read more...]

GET and POST are two efficient techniques that can send the data to the server and browser necessarily need these to communicate to the server. The two methods are distinct where GET method adds the encoded data to the URI while in case of POST method the data is appended to the body rather than URI. Additionally, GET method is used for retrieving the data. Conversely, POST method is used for storing or updating the data. The form tag is used for expressing the content of the form; this is … [Read more...]

Java and JavaScript are the programming languages primarily used for the different purposes. Although they sound similar but there are not many similarities between them, in fact, they are different. Java is essentially be used as a general-purpose programming language while JavaScript is used as client-side scripting language. Java is both compiled and interpreted language while the browser interprets JavaScript. The JavaScript uses prototype objects, and these objects help in accessing … [Read more...]

The scripts can be written in two forms, at the server end (back end) or at the client end (server end). The main difference between server-side scripting and client-side scripting is that the server side scripting involves server for its processing. On the other hand, client-side scripting requires browsers to run the scripts on the client machine but does not interact with the server while processing the client-side scripts. A script is generally a series of program or instruction, which … [Read more...]

PHP and Python are the popular high-level programming languages which have a strong open source background and also provide comprehensive design documentation. The major difference between PHP and Python is that PHP is broadly used for web development whereas Python is a general-purpose full-stack programming language. PHP is a server-side scripting language, in contrast, Python is an object-oriented scripting language. Content: PHP Vs Python Comparison Chart Definition Key … [Read more...]

The quick sort and merge sort algorithms are based on the divide and conquer algorithm which works in the quite similar way. The prior difference between the quick and merge sort is that in quick sort the pivot element is used for the sorting. On the other hand, merge sort does not use pivot element for performing the sorting. Both sorting techniques, quick sort and merge sort are built on the divide and conquer method in which the set of elements are parted and then combined after … [Read more...]

The class is a technique used to bind data and its associated functions together, in contrast, Object is the created instance of a class. The object and class are the terms mainly used in object-oriented programming through which data is organized in the form of objects to reduce the code and application complexity. Objects change their state through the exposed methods and communicate with those methods. On the contrary, classes are passive and do not pass messages but used to create … [Read more...]

The Friend function and friend class are the techniques used to access the private members of a class by using friend keyword. The common difference between friend function and friend class is that when friend function is used the private class members can be accessed but in friend class, only the names of the friend class is accessed not the private members of the class. The friend feature whether used by function or class can produce a negative impact on the object-oriented framework as it … [Read more...]
