Codecs Vs. Containers

 What is a codec? What is the difference between a codec and a container?

In my own words, codec is the layout that dismount and amount the video and audio, like what holds that, with names and numbers to identify like a code, helping to a video quality and upload and makes the video to not lag. However a container is part of the codec since is the space or storage that maintains the video to be transported to a platform and the codec just support it by keeping what contains a video together. Basically being one in two, but with different functions.
