Routers VS coordinators

Question

I am an ios developer and trying to figure out the difference between the router in viper architecture and coordinator . I really cant find a clear answer is the coordinator just considered a pattern so the router is just some kind of coordinator after all or they have different purpose ? And if so what are the differences

Answer 1

They are both similar but router manages routing from a single view controller, while coordinator takes care of entire flow.

So in a given Coordinator you might get child coordinators which makes you take care of the entire flow.
