What is the difference between push and offset under the grid system?

Question

I\'m trying to understand the difference between push and offset in Bootstrap grids. For example the only difference between the two rows below is the third column in each.

Answer 1

A offset in bootstrap will offset the left side of the column thus moving it over or "offsetting" something to the right. With the "offset" style you can only offset items to the right. For pushes and pulls you can pull something to the "left or right" or you can push something opposite of pull. Pushing or pulling items is primary used for column ordering.
