Is there any difference between "yup" and "yep"?:-) I find that my foreign friends often use "yep" and "yup" instead of "yes". I'm wondering whether there is any difference between them. Thanks in advance^ ^

All have the same meaning. Yup and yep are more informal than yes, so definitely use yes in more business like settings or conversations. Yup and yep are more slang/friendly. I rarely see yep used other than people who are very happy.

This is casual speech - yup and yep have the same "register". If you're ever in doubt about which expression to use, just use "yes". You can't go wrong with standard English.

Nope, no difference.
