The main difference between a gated S-R latch and an edge-triggered S-R flip-flop

The main difference between a gated S-R latch and an edge-triggered S-R flip-flop

The main difference between a gated S-R latch and an edge-triggered S-R flip-flop is that in gated S-R latch the output is dependent on active-high of enable input but in edge-triggered S-R flip-flop output will be affected by appropriate inputs at S and R and a clock signal is applied on clock input.

Edge-triggered S-R flip flop is synchronous and changes when a clock signal is applied instead of the enable signal.
