Logistic and Linear Regression have an assumption that the Independent and dependent data are linearly related. LogReg also used LinReg internally but applies sigmoid function which predicts a probability (0<= x <= 1) hence we classify into 2 categories. LogReg can also be cascaded to a simple NN because of its sigmoid function which is also used as an activation function. Unfortunately, the interviewer kept interrupting and read it from google.
