Please what is the difference between points & pips in forex

When quoting the spread for instruments, some brokers prefer to use points instead of pips as the unit of measurement, what is the dufference?

When you see 10 points it simply means 1.0 pips. When you see 11 points it means 1.1 pips, when you see 12 points it means 1.2 pips and so forth.

Points is just a way of not having to include decimals.
