AIFF and AAC are both digital audio formats for storing and transmitting audio data. While both formats serve the same function, there are some key variations between them. AIFF files are uncompressed and high-quality, whereas AAC files are compressed and take up less storage space while still maintaining good audio quality. Read this article to find out more about AIFF and AAC and how they are different from each other. What is AIFF? AIFF, which stands for Audio Interchange File Format, is a famous digital audio file format created by Apple in 1988. It is a lossless audio format, which ... Read More

AHB (Advanced High-performance Bus) and APB (Advanced Peripheral Bus) are two bus protocols that are extensively used in the design of complex digital systems. The key difference between AHB and APB is their speed and intended usage. AHB is designed for high-performance applications requiring fast data transmission rates and low-latency communication, whereas APB is designed for slower peripherals not requiring high-speed data transport. Read this article to find out more about AHB and APB and how they are different from each other. What is AHB? AHB is an ARM-designed high-performance bus protocol for connecting high- speed peripherals and memory in ... Read More

Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) and Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM) are two very efficient techniques for examining materials at the atomic and molecular levels. AFM works on the interaction forces between the tip and the sample surface. STM is a sort of microscopy that scans the surface of a sample using a conductive tip. While AFM and STM have certain commonalities, they also have some substantial differences. Read this article to find out more about AFM and STM and how they are different from each other. What is AFM? AFM works on the interaction forces between the tip and the sample ... Read More

ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) and APM (Advanced Power Management) are both power management systems used in computers to control power consumption and maximize energy efficiency. ACPI is designed to handle power management tasks other than basic on/off functions, such as managing system resources, devices, and processor performance. APM is an older and simpler system that provides fundamental power management functions. Read this article to find out more about ACPI and APM and how they are different from each other. What is ACPI? The ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) standard was created by Intel, Microsoft, and Toshiba. ... Read More

ABR (average bit rate) and VBR (variable bit rate) are two methods used in digital audio and video encoding. ABR is a technique of encoding in which the bitrate remains constant throughout the duration of the media file. VBR is an encoding technique in which the bitrate varies according to the complexity of the content being encoded. Read this article to find out more about ABR and VBR and how they are different from each other. What is ABR? ABR is a technique of encoding in which the bitrate remains constant throughout the duration of the media file. This means ... Read More

Introduction In today’s world humans are generating data in huge quantities from platforms like social media, health care, etc., and with this data, we have to extract information to increase business and develop our society. For handling this data and extraction of information from data we use two important technologies named Hadoop and Mahout. Hadoop and Mahout are two important technologies in the field of big data analytics, but they have different functionalities and use cases. Hadoop is primarily used for batch processing, while Mahout is used for building machine-learning models. Ultimately, the choice depends on the user's needs. In ... Read More

In Python ‘and’ and ‘&’ both are used to perform logical operations. The and-operator is used to perform logical AND operation whereas the & operator is used to perform bitwise AND between two expressions. In this article, we will explore the differences between the two operators and how to use them in Python. and operator & operator Used for logical operations Used for bitwise operations Returns boolean value Returns integer value Evaluates both operands Compares the binary representation of operands Short circuits if the first operand is false Perform operation ...

In Python, the + operator is used to concatenate two lists or strings together and return a new string whereas the append operator is used to add elements to the end of an existing string. The + acts as an operator whereas append() is a method in Python. In this article, we will understand the differences between the + operator and the append() method in Python. + operator append() method Purpose concatenation adds an element to the end Type operator method Input Two or more strings/list One element output ...

The __sizeof__() method and the getsizeof() method both are used to get the size of the objects used in the program. The getsizeof() method returns an additional overhead for garbage collection along with each element size of the list. The __sizeof__() method returns the actual size of the object without any overhead. In this article, we will see how we can differentiate these operators in Python. __sizeof__() operator getsizeof() The __sizeof__() operator returns the size of the object without any extra overhead for garbage collection. The getsizeof() operator returns the size of the object with extra ... Read More

The __eq__, ‘is’ and == operators in Python are used to compare the equality of objects in Python. The __eq__ method checks for the equality of objects of the same class or if we want to make a custom comparison function. The ‘is’ operator checks for the memory location of the two objects whereas the == operator checks only the value of the two objects being compared. In this article, we will discuss the difference between the three operators and their uses. Method Functionality Syntax __eq__ Checks for equality of objects values between two objects of ...
