An Index is at the end of a book and is very detailed list of words theories that can be found on specific pages throughout the book, has a lot more information like what is on every page. ]

A table of contents provides a structured outline of the contents within a document or book, while an index lists specific topics, terms, and references along with their corresponding page numbers, with the table of contents used for navigating within the document and the index used for locating specific information.
