Perhaps another approach is to tell us what you think each is then we know what we need to help you with

Naturally, it will be a very good exercise to read RestedGal's links, then if you explain what you learned you
will find no end of helpers willing to clarify or expound.

Good luck (there is a lot to learn, isn't there )
