what is the difference between Touch & cat command

Answer Posted / prasanta

Both touch and cat commands are used to create a file.
but file created by touch will be of 0 byte i.e we can not
insert any data into the file and by using cat command we
can insert data into the file.

the advantage of touch command is that we can create as many
as possible files in a single command line.
ex:touh file1 file2 file3 file4...but we cannot do this
thing by using create command.
