Key differences between proc and lambda?

also possible duplicate of –
When to use lambda, when to use Proc.new?
additionally taken from the below link –
lambda handles arguments exactly as a Ruby method; pass less or more arguments than the function expects, and you get an ArgumentError.
Proc.new tolerates errors; if you call it with less arguments than specified, the rest are set to nil; if you specify more, the ones in excess are ignored.
