Is stock exchange and stock market are the same?

Answer:

They are used interchangeably but there is a subtle difference. A stock exchange is an association formed to buy and sell securities or the physical location where this association operates, such as the New York Exchange or the Hong Kong Exchange. The stock market is the activity of all these exchanges and the securities available to be bought and sold.
