What is the difference between isSaleable() and isAvailable()?

Question

I\'m working on the display of the stock availability on the (individual) product page of my Magento theme, and there\'s something I don\'t completely understand about this.

Answer 1

isAvailable() is used to decide whether to display the product as in stock or out of stock, while isSaleable() is used to decide whether to show an Add to cart button or not.
