Hi Bailey, After reading the definitions, only the padding and maximum size is the same for both. From what I can tell, you can specify the size of VARCHAR up to the max size (this allows you to control the amount of space/memory that you allocate). The LONGVARCHAR size is already set--the max size.
Hope that makes sense or even helps.
