Difference between find_element and findElement in selenium

Question

I am using find_element while I have seen findElement being used at some places in selenium. I am using an older version of chromedriver.

Are the two same or is there a difference?

I am writing codes for someone and I am just wondering if the codes would work for them if there is a difference in the version.

Here's my code:

    from selenium import webdriver
    driver = webdriver.Chrome('C:\Users\Nishima.Suman\Downloads\chromedriver_win32 (3)\chromedriver.exe')
    driver.get('https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dixons_Retail')
    x= driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="mw-content-text"]/div/table/caption')
    print x.text

The syntax changes depending on the language. python/ruby: .find_element, Java/javascript: .findElement, CSharp: .FindElement. — Florent B.

They both are actually same. There's no difference in functionality of findElement and find_element. It just depends on which programming language you using to write your script.

JAVA: findElement

Python: find_element

Make sure there's no mistake in uppercase and lowercase.

There is no difference between them except one that findElement() is part of java-client and find_element is part of python, if we talk about functionality both are same.
