Are digest cycle and digest loop identical?

I was going through digest cycles (and loops) and getting to know about $apply, $digest and so on. However, in some articles they refer digest cycles the same as digest loops. I know that there will be at least two iterations for any $apply. What are those iterations called (digest cycles or digest loops).

If they are different, are they related? If so, how?

Solution

  • They are the same - it is the background process AngularJs uses to detect changes.
