Difference bet Service and Factory

[mpatel3]

confusion between Service and Factory.

Whatever you have explained on your website ( service vs factory vs provider) is best . Still i have one issue.

1. I have created object inside the angular.module('name',[]).service() and return the object in that service. still my code is working. Usually we are creating an object in factory and returning that object. but for service i have try to do same thing. still it is working.
2. I understand concept of new() and this of service and returning of object for factory. Both support scoping.

• So,
• i am confused why we have factory and service both ? both are doing the same thing.
• What advantages will i get when i use factory or service ? Does factory have any advantage over service or service have on factory? or both are just the way to create Angular Services.

I have searched on internet read answers but not able to find the concrete answer. if you guys can explain it will be good.

Here is the JSFiddle Code i have created. You can go there and run the code.
