Answer / milind patil
dll means "Dynamic Link Library". Exe means "Executables"
.Exe
1. These are outbound file.
2. Only one .exe file exists per application.
3. .Exe cannot be shared with other applications.
4. .Exe Can Run On its own
.dll
1. These are inbound file .
2. Many .dll files may exists in one application.
3. .dll can be shared with other applications.
4. .dll cannot Run on its own
The DLL is an inprocess component but exe is outprocess
component. When system launches an exe, a new process is
created , for DLL a new process is not created.
DLL is a WIN 32 LIBRARY file, whereas the exe is a WIN32
executable file.
DLL can be reused and versioned. DLL reduces storage space
as different programs/files can use the same dll.
DLL does not have a main function. DLL binding occurs at
runtime. That is why its called "Dynamic Link" library.
EXE has a single main entry point.

A company wants to transmit data over the telephone, but it is concerned that its phones may be tapped. All of its data is transmitted as four-digit integers. It has asked you to write a program that will encrypt its data so that the data may be transmitted more securely. Your script should read a four digit integer entered by the user in a prompt dialog and encrypt it as follows: Replace each digit by (the sum of that digit plus 7) modulus 10. Then swap the first digit with the third, and swap the second digit with the fourth. Then output XHTML text that displays the encrypted integer.
