Any real world example of library & framework

[iSahilSharma]

I've been writing a blog about the difference Framework and Library, so Googling around and found an interesting example about framework on Stack Overflow: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2964140/what-is-a-framework-what-does-it-do-why-do-we-need-a-framework[^]

Quote:

Framework: If I say you to cut a paper of dimension 5m by 5m then surely you would do that. But then I ask you to cut 1000 paper of the same dimension. Then you won't do the measuring for 1000 times, obviously you would make a frame of 5m by 5m and then with the help of it you would be able to cut 1000 papers in less time. So, what you did is you made a framewok which would do that type of task. So, instead of performing same type of task again and again for same type of applications, what you do is you create a framework having all those facilities together in one nice packet and hence providing the abstraction for your application and more importantly many applications.

Can anyone please provide a same way example about library.

You would of course first need a definition for those two terms that make them distinct from each other. And it would help if it was authoritative.
