List of Similarities
- 1Both words describe a problem or task that can be resolved.
- 2Both words are used in mathematics and computer science.
- 3Both words imply that there is a solution or answer to the problem.
What is the difference?
- 1Scope: Computable refers specifically to problems that can be solved by algorithms or computer programs, while solvable can refer to a wider range of problems that can be solved using mathematical methods or techniques.
- 2Method: Computable implies that the problem can be solved using a specific algorithm or program, while solvable does not specify a particular method or technique.
- 3Context: Computable is more commonly used in computer science and programming, while solvable is more commonly used in mathematics and general problem-solving contexts.
- 4Connotation: Computable has a more technical and precise connotation, while solvable has a more general and everyday connotation.
- 5Usage: Computable is typically used to describe problems or tasks that can be automated or performed by a computer, while solvable is used to describe a wide range of problems that can be solved using mathematical methods or techniques.
Remember this!
Computable and solvable are synonyms that describe a problem or task that can be resolved. However, computable specifically refers to problems that can be solved by algorithms or computer programs, while solvable is a more general term that can refer to a wider range of problems that can be solved using mathematical methods or techniques.
