I am glad to participate on the weeks crypt academy homework by professor @yousafharoonkhan. Let dive into the homework.
What is meant by order book and how crypto order book differs from our local market. explain with examples (answer must be written in own words, copy-paste or from other source copy will be not accepted)
An order book is a list of trades, either printed or written, that exchange uses to record market values at actual individual order prices. We can also say that an order book is a book created to meet records of buy and sell orders that are placed by traders at different rates at their convenience.
The Crypto order book is a little bit different. There record the order of traded pair of buyer and seller are kept. For instance, LTC/ BTC assuming a trader buys BTC in exchange for LTC. The record will be kept on the order book in the place of LTC/BTC buy orders. It goes on and on like that. It also implies the other cryptocurrency. For instance, another trader sells ETH from BTC the record will be kept in a specific section.
The order book is not peculiar to crypto trading only. Order books are used every even in our local market. There is some little difference like:
No technical analysis can be done in local markets to predict when there would be a high price or low price.
Orders are recorded manually in the local market order books.
There are no features like stop limit orders and market orders in the local market
Mostly a single currency is used to buy sell things in the local market.
Local market order books are only meant for the owner to access.

Trading pair
Trading pair means crypto-assets paired together on an exchange market that can be traded for each other. For instance, ETH/ BTC and other cryptocurrencies. It means can another cryptocurrency with a particular cryptocurrency. We can buy ETH from BTC and also BTC from ETH and we can also sell.
It can also be pair either crypto to crypto or crypto to fiat pair. That is BTC/ETH for crypto to crypto or BTC/USD crypto to fiat trading pair.
Support and Resistance
Support is the price degree where a bearish is expected to stop. At the point of the bearish price of asset decreases. The support line can be likened to the position which prevents the price from bearish. The support line can be seen by joining the tops of bearish price peaks.
Resistance means the point where a bullish trend is expected to stop. In other words, the value of a particular asset is expected to come down at that point. At that position, the traders are expected to sell the asset.
Limit order
It a type of trading system where a buy and seller set order of an asset at a price from the spot price or market price. For instance, I want to sell 1 ETH in the market but it was $3,500 at the time placing the order. So, I can set my price to $4,500. The sale will be carried out when the price reaches $4,500.
Market order
It is the type of buy or sells order where a buyer or seller places an order at the current price of the market. The order will be instantly carried out because it is the exact price of the market. Sellers and buyers are already available to trade at that current price.

Assuming you have a cryptocurrency and you saw that there sudden raise in price of the coins and you wanted to gain profit by selling this coin. The order book provides us the market order at the particular moment in which our order get executed immediately. The order at that particular moment help to gain profit. Assuming you saw the price of a particular cryptocurrency going down and you want to buy at that particular price. You can place the order at market price and purchase the cryptocurrency. Hold the cryptocurrency and sell it when the price goes up. If you're too busy to monitor the price and you want to sell. You can place your order and sell at your preferred price limit. Your order will be executed when the price reach the order limit.
The support help by monitoring at a price range where maximum buy orders are placed. We can also check on the price range which the highest sell order are place and check on the resistance level of an asset.
