Answer 1

ng-show and ng-hide work in opposite way. But the difference between ng-hide or ng-show with ng-if is,if we use ng-if then element will created in the dom but with ng-hide/ng-show element will be hidden completely.

ng-show=true/ng-hide=false:
Element will be displayed

ng-show=false/ng-hide=true:
element will be hidden

ng-if =true
element will be created

ng-if= false
element will be created in the dom.
