I am not that verse in Linux but what is the difference between these two commands?

I have seen this in a script that I am debugging but I dont know what is the use of the one over the other?

They seem to accomplished the same thing but I just would like to know the difference

find . -type f exec chmod 777 {} \;
find . -type f exec chmod 777 {} +

Thanks
