What is the difference between UPC codes and ISBN codes?
This struck my mind when I learned how to crack UPC bar codes, though I realized that there was another code, the ISBN code. And I have seen on notebooks, books, DVDs, CDs and games. So I decided to research code. Can anyone please tell me what is the difference between these to codes.

Best answer:

ISBN The International Standard Book Number, or ISBN, is a unique, numeric commercial book identifier based upon the 9-digit Standard codes is found mainly on books and other printed materials. It is a number used to identify and classify the book. It provides publishers, libraries and other technical specialists with ways to assign and classify published materials.

UPC Universal Pricing Code is a 12-digit number used on mechandise in stores and other businesses to encode the price of articles so that the price is readable when scanned at a point of sale(cash register; computerized checkoiut). The UPC is also an important tool that helps merchants to keep track of their inventory.
