Compare and contrast?

Hi all!

I have a question which I am not sure the answer. Please reply me. ;)

What is different between compare and contrast question?

In my opinion, comparing is showing the similar points between two problem. And contrasting is showing the different points between them.

But after thinking carefully I think compare is wider than contrast. When an essay asks you compare, you should show divide your essay in two paragraphs.

First para show the similar points.

Second para show the different points.

And when an essay asks you contrast you need show only different points.

Is it right? :p

Please answer this question. Thanks
