How it is different from <input type="button"> ?
-> Inside a <button> </button> element We can Put texts, embed elements like the <p> </p> tags,<b> </b> tags, <strong> </strong> tags, <br> and <img src=""> tags. We can't embed these tags inside <input type="button">

<button type="submit"> Submit Button </button><button type="button"> Button </button><button type="reset"> Button </button>
