When to use _e and __ for the translation?

by

What is difference between _e() and __() functions for the translation? In what cases e() and __ ()should be used?

If you want to echo the translated string, then you will be using _e and when you just want to have the translated string, then you will be using __.

Example:

_e('this is a message', 'twentyfourteen');

is same as

echo __('this is a message', 'twentyfourteen');
