What is the difference between a library and a framework?

Hey guys....

What is the difference between a library and a framework?
Is a library is a bunch of predefined codes that run during the execution of the program or during the process of linking it?
Are the libraries prototypes of functions to help the programmer writing less codes?
What if we do not use the libraries.............
What we can do if we do not us <iostream>?
<iostream>
<math>
<cstdlib> are libraries,isn't?
Can we avoid using libraries, but using more code instead? Just for clarification of my question.
What are the common and most usable C++ libraries?

what is a framework?
Does it mean a bunch of libraries?
And what is an example of a framework?

Any answer?

It's poorly defined. A library is a binary object providing functions that can be called. A framework is a set of libraries intended to provide some functionality (which includes just one library, in which case it's identical to a library). People use both words to mean the other.

Don't worry about it.
