Hello, teachers.

I was just wondering if there is any difference between the two..

Do both sentences have exactly the same meaning?

If not, it would be great if you could explain the difference with some examples.

Thank you in advance.

Hello, Tramper.:-D

According to this dictionary, there seems to be no difference between them:
Merriam-Webster's Learner's Dictionary

I hope it helps.
