    Find command is used to search for a file with a specific file name in a set of files.
    Syntax: find .-name "fileE" -print

    grep command is used to search pattren within a file.
    Syntax: grep "pattren" filename

    The main difference is that "find" is a file locator while "grep"
    searches for patterns within a file.
