Hot reload refers to the ability to change the source code of an application while it is running, and have those changes immediately reflected in the running application without having to restart it. This is often used in development environments to quickly test code changes.
Hot restart, on the other hand, refers to the ability to update an application by replacing the binary or bytecode of the running application with a new version, without having to stop the application. This is often used in production environments to update an application without interrupting service.
In summary, Hot reload allows you to change the source code and see the changes in the running application without restarting it. While Hot restart allows you to update the binary or bytecode of the running application without stopping it.
A “hot restart” in Flutter refers to the process of quickly restarting the app while preserving the current state. This allows developers to make changes to the code and see the results immediately, without having to manually navigate back to the previous state. A “hot reload” on the other hand, allows developers to make changes to the code and see the results immediately, without losing the current state. This is generally faster than a hot restart. You can use “r” command in the terminal to perform a hot reload and “R” for hot restart when running the app in the flutter emulator
