• Means of aid: only teaching materials, no websearch, no use of ai.
• Timeframe: 5 Minutes
• Expected result: A PDF file with the answers of the control questions.

You have learnt what the difference between a software framework and a library is. Answer therefore the following five questions:

1. What is the primary difference between how libraries and frameworks manage control in a project? (Hint: Think about who-calls-whom — your code or the framework/library.)
2. Can a framework be seamlessly incorporated into an existing project? Why or why not?
3. Give an example of a library and explain its primary purpose.
4. What does a framework provide that makes it suitable for starting a new project?
5. Why are libraries important in program linking and binding processes, and how do they differ from frameworks in this regard?
