Modem and router are the networking devices. Where a modem connects your computer or your network to the telephone line (Internet Service Provider) for accessing the internet. A router is meant for connecting different networks together. The basic difference between modem and router is that modem necessary for connecting your computer network to the internet whereas, a router is essential to direct the path to the traffic of data packets on the network. Let us study some more differences between … [Read more...]
Difference Between Circuit Switching and Packet Switching
Circuit switching and packet switching are the two switching methods that are used to connect the multiple communicating devices with one another. Circuit Switching was particularly designed for voice communication and it was less suitable for data transmission. So, a better solution evolved for data transmission called Packet switching. The main difference between circuit switching and packet switching is that Circuit Switching is connection oriented whereas, Packet Switching is connectionless. … [Read more...]
Difference Between Router and Switch
Router and switch both are the connecting devices in networking. A router is used to choose the smallest path for a packet to reach its destination. A switch stores the arrived packet, process it to determine its destination address and forwards the packet to a specific destination. The basic difference between a router and a switch is that a router connects different networks together whereas, a switch connect multiple devices together to create a network. Let us study some other differences … [Read more...]
Difference Between MAC Address and IP Address
MAC and IP are the addresses that uniquely defines a device and a connection in a network. A MAC address is a number assigned to the NIC card by the manufacturer. IP address is a number assigned to the connection in a network. The basic difference between MAC address and IP address is that a MAC address uniquely identifies a device that wants to take part in a network. On the other hand, an IP address uniquely defines a connection of a network with an interface of a device. Let us study some … [Read more...]
Difference Between Cc and Bcc
Cc and Bcc are fields that contains the list of the recipients of an email. The Cc field is used when we want a second party to have a record of an email that is sent to the primary recipient and let the primary recipients have knowledge of this. The Bcc field is used when we want a third party to keep the record of an email sent to primary recipients, the recipients of Cc without their knowledge. The basic difference between Cc and Bcc is that the recipients of Cc are visible to all, on the … [Read more...]
Difference between Thread Class and Runnable Interface in Java
A thread can be defined in two ways. First, by extending a Thread class that has already implemented a Runnable interface. Second, by directly implementing a Runnable interface. When you define a thread by extending Thread class you have to override the run() method in Thread class. When you define a thread implementing a Runnable interface you have to implement the only run() method of Runnable interface. The basic difference between Thread and Runnable is that each thread defined by extending … [Read more...]
Difference Between extends and implements keywords in Java
The keywords extends and implements are used to inherit the features of an already existing parent block in newly created child block. Using extends keyword, a newly created class (subclass) can inherit the features of an existing class (superclass). Using implements keyword a newly created class can implement all the methods of an interface. The primary difference between keywords extends and implements is that a class extends another class to inherit all its members whereas, a class implements … [Read more...]
Difference Between Data Hiding and Encapsulation
Data hiding and encapsulation both are the important concept of object oriented programming. Encapsulation means wrapping the implementation of data member and methods inside a class. When implementation of all the data member and methods inside a class are encapsulated, the method name can only describe what action it can perform on an object of that class. Data Hiding means protecting the members of a class from an illegal or unauthorized access. The main difference between data hiding and … [Read more...]
Difference Between Class and Interface in Java
Class and Interface both are used to create new reference types. A class is a collection of fields and methods that operate on fields. An interface has fully abstract methods i.e. methods with nobody. An interface is syntactically similar to the class but there is a major difference between class and interface that is a class can be instantiated, but an interface can never be instantiated. So let us learn some more difference between a class and interface with the help of a comparison chart … [Read more...]
Difference Between List and Set in Java
List and Set interface extends Collection. Both of them maintains the collection of elements or objects. But, the major difference that distinguishes them from each other is List is a collection of ordered element, the elements are added or remove or accessed with the help of an index variable. On the other hand, Set is a collection of objects where the collection does not allow duplicate elements in it. Let us study some more differences between List and Set interfaces with the help of … [Read more...]
