What is a Working Capital Cycle?
The Net Working Capital of a company is the difference between its current assets and current liabilities. We can define the Working Capital Cycle of a company as the duration of time it takes to converts its net working capital into cash.A longer Working Capital Cycle denotes that the company is blocking its capital in working capital without earning any returns on it. Hence, most companies try to reduce the working capital cycle by disposing the inventory quickly and collecting the receivables as early as possible. Sometimes, companies stretch their Accounts Payable (pay their bills slowly) in order to optimize ...
Read MoreDifference Between ZIP and RAR
There are various types of file formats available in computer file systems. ZIP and RAR are types of archive file formats that are used to store different types of files and folders in a single container. However, ZIP and RAR file formats are quite different from each other. The most fundamental difference between ZIP and RAR is that ZIP is a standard archive file format that can be enabled in any operating system, whereas RAR is an archive file format that requires a third-party tool named WinRAR for its processing. Read this tutorial to learn more about the ZIP and ...
Read MoreDifference Between SSD and HDD
In computer systems, different types of memory devices are used to store data permanently. Both SSD and HDD are such storage devices. SSD and HDD are the most commonly used types of secondary memories. HDD is a traditional storage device, while SSD is a modern storage device. SSD and HDD are quite different from each other. The most fundamental difference between SSD and HDD is that SSD (Solid State Drive) is a storage device that stores data in integrated circuits, whereas HDD (Hard Disc Drive) is a device that stores data magnetically. There are several other differences between SSD and ...
Read MoreDifference between Memory and Storage
Memory and Storage are two terms that are often used interchangeably, but they refer to different things. Memory is used to store data that is being actively used by the CPU, while Storage is used to store long-term data that needs to be accessed on a regular basis. Read this tutorial to learn more about Memory and Storage and how they are different from each other. What is Memory? Memory allows storing data on a short term basis. A memory normally is made up using registers. Each register has a location called memory location or storage location. Each memory location ...
Read MoreDifference between JPEG and SVG
JPEG and SVG are types of image formats. JPEG is a raster image format that uses a lossy compression algorithm to compress an image, whereas SVG is a highly scalable, text-based image format that uses mathematical structures to represent an image. JPEG images are used in photography applications, while SVG is used when high-resolution images are required. JPEG is a good choice for photographs and other images with lots of colors, while SVG is a better choice for simple images and graphics that need to be resized, such as logos and icons. Read this article to find out more about ...
Read MoreDifference between Impact and Non-Impact Printers
A printer is an output device that produces information or computer outputs on a paper. Depending upon the technology used, printers are classified into two categories namely, Impact Printers and Non-Impact Printers. An impact printer is one that operates by striking a printing head (made up of metal or plastic) against an ink ribbon, whereas a non-impact printer is one that prints characters and graphics without direct physical contact between the printing head and the paper. Read this tutorial to find out more about Impact and Non-impact Printers and how they are different from each other. What is an Impact ...
Read MoreDifference between Holography and Photography
The primary difference between holography and photography is that holography is a technology used to create three-dimensional (3D) images of an object, whereas photography is one that creates two-dimensional (2D) images of a three-dimensional object. Read this tutorial to find out more about Holography and Photography and how they are different from each other. What is Holography? Holography is a technique to generate 3-dimensional images using interference and diffraction of light. It uses a coherent and monochromatic source of light. A hologram is needed to regenerate an image. In other words, holography can be defined as the process of wave ...
Read MoreDifference between Fundamental data types and derived Data Types
In computer programming, a datatype represents the type and nature of data that is to be used by the user. It is the data type that tells the compiler or interpreter how to deal with the data and provide corresponding storing location in computer memory. According to the nature of data, the data types can be of two types namely Fundamental Datatype and Derived Datatype. Both these datatypes are extensively used in computer programming. They are equally important when we require to implement the business logic over the data. Read this tutorial to find out more about Fundamental and Derived ...
Read MoreDifference between DOS and Windows
Both DOS and Windows are types of operating systems. DOS is a single-tasking, single-user and CLI-based OS; whereas Windows is a multitasking, multiuser and GUI-based OS. Read this tutorial to find out more about DOS and Windows and how these two operating systems are different from each other. What is DOS? DOS (Disk Operating System) is a character-based operating system that was developed in the 1980s for IBM-compatible computers. DOS is one of the oldest and widely used computer operating systems. It is a set of computer programs. DOS can perform major functions like file management, allocation of system resources, ...
Read MoreDifference between Data Warehouse and Operational Database
A data warehouse is a repository for structured, filtered data that has already been processed for a specific purpose. It collects the data from multiple sources and transforms the data using ETL process, then loads it to the Data Warehouse for business purpose. An operational database, on the other hand, is a database where the data changes frequently. They are mainly designed for high volume of data transaction. They are the source database for the data warehouse. Operational databases are used for recording online transactions and maintaining integrity in multi-access environments. Read this article to learn more about data warehouses ...
