    Smile Call Or Invoke

    Hi friends,

    Usually we say "this function is called" also we say "the function is invoked".
    Can any tell me whats the diffrent in these two technical words
    "Call" & "Invoke"?
    When should we use them ?

    I think they are synonymous.. at least afaik nobody's ever been complaining about their use
    Use

    But in C/C++, call is the more common term.

    Since most assemblers for x86 I've seen use CALL to jump to another section of code, I'd assume that being a more correct term.

    Not to mention that Invoke is a bit of a silly word really
