Difference between using "include 'file.php'" and "include('file.php')"

I've noticed in these videos the instructor uses the following statement:

include('inc/file.php');

When in previous courses, the instruction was in the following format:

include 'inc/file.php';

Why the change and what's the difference between them?

No difference. It is just preference.
