The add method adds a fragment to a root element. The replace method removes any existing fragments and then adds a new fragment.

The add method is used to add a fragment to a root element. This means that it simply places the new fragment on top of any existing fragments. It does not remove any existing fragments. This can be useful if you want to layer your fragments.

On the other hand, the replace method first removes any existing fragments that are in the container that you specify, and then adds the new fragment. This is useful if you want to completely swap out a fragment that is currently being displayed with a new one.

Here's a step-by-step breakdown:

1. The add method:

   • Step 1: You call the add method, specifying the container where you want to add the fragment and the new fragment itself.
   • Step 2: The method places the new fragment on top of any existing fragments in the specified container.

2. The replace method:

   • Step 1: You call the replace method, specifying the container where you want to add the new fragment.
   • Step 2: The method removes any existing fragments in the specified container.
   • Step 3: The method adds the new fragment to the container.
