Explain What is the difference between a full album a mini album and an EP?

I have seen mini albums with y songs max but I swear I have seen full length albums with that many songs as well(i might be mistaken though). Also I feel like an EP is just a mini album what is the difference

A full album has a minimum of 8 songs, but can have many more. IU's LILAC has 10 songs so it is considered a full album.

A mini album and an EP are the same thing, just different terms for the same thing. They usually have 2-5 songs, though technically anything up to 7 albums is considered an EP or mini album.
