Difference between a framework and library?

Question

In many of the programming languages I have tried, all of them have libraries and frameworks. What's the difference between the two? I think I have a small idea but I'm not positive. Thanks in advance! :)

Answer 1

the difference lies in the flow of control.
we , i.e., our code CALLS library methods but on the other hand in framework our code is being called by the framework.

Take JavaScript and php example :
when we do
document.ready(){
function xyz (){
//code }
}

here 1st line is framework since it is calling our code
and second line is somewhat library's method since we or our code is calling some method.

I tried to keep things as simple as possible, hope it helps.
