What is the difference between Raspberry Pi and Ardunio?

Question

Arduino

I am a person without a technical background, I only know php, js
Here is a fee, there is a fee. Wiki writes that Ardunio is programmed in C ++ in the article about Raspberry Pi nothing is said about programming languages, but a lot is written about OS options.
What is the difference between them and where is it better to start acquaintance as a hobby for a non-professional?

Answer 1

These are different things.
Arduino is, roughly speaking, a microcontroller with 1024 bytes of memory. You won’t be able to keep a lot there, and in fact only one program will work on it, which you need to write in the Arduino IDE in a C-like language.
Malinka is an almost full-fledged computer on ARM (there is, perhaps, only a system clock) with GPIO ports (these ports are also on the Arduino). It runs ARM versions of the OS (Linux, Windows). And the development must be carried out by the same means and on the same principles as the usual "computer" for the corresponding OS. There are tools for working with GPIO; i.e., you can connect almost any hardware to the board and "command" them from the program and take signals from there - even with a shell script on Linux.
